Closed for renovation and extension work (NMNM, 2026). No reopening date announced; exhibitions are at Villa Paloma.
Villa Sauber is one of two exhibition venues of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM), alongside Villa Paloma. Housed in one of the last remaining Belle Époque villas in the Principality, the building was purchased by painter Robert Sauber in 1904 and became property of the Monegasque State in 1969.
From 2009 until its closure for works, the villa hosted temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, exploring connections between Monaco's cultural heritage and international artistic practice. Exhibitions typically ran for several months and featured works across diverse media including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video.
Visiting
Villa Sauber is currently closed for renovation and extension work, according to the NMNM, and no reopening date has been announced. Until it reopens, all of the museum's exhibitions are at Villa Paloma, 56 boulevard du Jardin Exotique (daily 10:00–18:00; €6, free on Sundays and for under-26s). See the NMNM visitor guide for details.
The villa stands on Avenue Princesse Grace in the Larvotto district, opposite the beach and near the Japanese Garden.
