En el conjunto de salas de instalación reciente, aprecia alrededor de 85 obras de arte, pertenecientes a la colección del museo, pintadas por Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Childe Hassam y otros artistas que narran uno de los momentos más importantes de la historia del arte.

El siglo XIX fue una época crucial en Europa y Norteamérica, marcada por cambios y revueltas increíbles. Complejos y contradictorios, estos cien años fueron testigo de la tensión entre fuerzas opuestas. La Revolución Industrial tuvo lugar al mismo tiempo que la exaltación de la naturaleza inmaculada; las revoluciones políticas alternaron con la restauración de regímenes conservadores y en el arte, el siglo empezó con una locura por las antigüedades y terminó con una marcha hacia la abstracción, un giro tan revolucionario que apenas si tiene comparación con los siglos anteriores.

El arte europeo y norteamericano del siglo XIX incluye, sobre todo, pinturas francesas y, en concreto, paisajes. Esto no es fortuito, ya que París, la capital de Francia, se convirtió en el centro artístico de Europa durante el siglo XIX y el paisaje, considerado en el pasado uno de los géneros menos prestigiosos de la pintura por su falta de contenido moral, floreció como uno de los temas más expresivos y coleccionados.
