New National Museum of Monaco
Contemporary art museum across two historic villas — Villa Paloma and Villa Sauber — presenting modern and contemporary exhibitions
The New National Museum of Monaco (NMNM) operates across two distinct villa locations, each offering a different perspective on contemporary art and design within architecturally significant Belle Époque settings. The museum presents rotating exhibitions of international scope alongside its permanent collections of modern and contemporary art, design, and decorative arts.
Two Locations
Villa Paloma — 56 Boulevard du Jardin Exotique. The main exhibition space, set in an elegant Belle Époque villa enhanced with modern museum infrastructure. Villa Paloma hosts the museum's major temporary exhibitions and provides the larger gallery footprint of the two venues. Phone: +377 98 98 48 60.
Villa Sauber — 17 Avenue Princesse Grace. The second venue occupies an architecturally significant villa near the Larvotto district, offering a more intimate exhibition context. Villa Sauber is currently closed and will reopen with future programming. Phone: +377 98 98 19 62.
