The exhibition “Monaco and the Napoleon(s): lntertwined Destinies”, for the first time this summer, invites visitors to explore the strong ties that united the reigns of the two French emperors, Napoleon I and Napoleon Ill, with the Grimaldi dynasty. To recount this fascinating and little-known history-marked by grandeur, power, military exploits, and persona! relationships-the event will bring together major historical artifacts that illustrate the origins and formation of the contemporary Monegasque State.

Thanks to the collaboration of leading French and Monegasque museums, prestigious private collections and the invaluable support of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco-providing access to numerous treasures from its collections and archives-nearly 200 works of unique historical and artistic significance, many of which have rarely or never been shown to the public, will be gathered for this exhibition.

The famous arches of Stade Louis II

An Immersive exhibition “There Was a First Time” opened at Louis II Stadium to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The exhibition is staged along the pedestrian walkway inside the stadium, newly renovated for the occasion, and will be open to the public for several months. It will highlight landmark firsts at the stadium: the first football match, the first world record, the first archery competition, the first concert, the first boxing gala and many others.

Thanks to archives, photographs and posters contributed by various organisations and bodies, visitors will have the opportunity to relive these historic occasions and gain a sense of the impact that the Louis II Stadium has had on sport and culture in Monaco.

Exhibition - "The Butterfly Effect"

The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology invites you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H.

It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.
