A reproduction of Claude Monet's "Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool, Giverny" will be on display in Media as part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's "Inside Out" initiative.

Twelve high-quality art reproductions will be installed throughout Media as part of "Inside Out," an initiative launched by the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Replica paintings by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall, among others, can be viewed throughout the Delaware County borough starting May 15 until Aug. 9. "Inside Out," conducted in partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, brings high-quality replicas into communities in an attempt to engage and inspire residents.

The artwork on display in Media will include Monet's "The Japanese Footbridge and Water Lily Pool, Giverny," Picasso's "Self-Portrait with Palette" and Chagall's "Half-Past Three." A large-scale reproduction of Mary Cassatt's "Mother and Child" also will be on display.

Some of the artwork will be mounted on walls. Other pieces will be placed on free-standing posts. Each piece will be displayed in a frame representative of the time period in which it was created. The pieces also will include labels with commentary from museum staff.

Replica artwork also will be visible throughout the Philadelphia region, including the East Passyunk and Chestnut Hill neighborhoods in Philly, Newtown and Haddonfield, New Jersey.
