There are a variety of exhibits that you won’t want to miss before they’re gone. Picasso: Drawing From Life features the artist’s sketches that provide a newfound perspective on his classic Synthetic Cubist style.

Among Friends and Rivals: Caravaggio in Rome features the early 17th century Italian artist’s dramatic canvasses and will be gone after Dec. 31.

French sculptor Camille Claudel’s exhibit features over 60 sculptures she produced in the 19th century that defy the artistry of standards in a male dominated sculpting field.
