If “Moby Dick” is a total masterpiece, it is because it is not only a fabulous adventure novel but also the logbook of an obsession.

He brings sailors aboard, gradually caught up in the whirlwind of this mad vengeance. This captivating tale, revealing an initiatory quest, is as profound as it is wise. It poses the great questions of human existence and inscribes a new myth in human memory: that of the white whale.

There are several interesting exhibitions going on in Monaco these days. For example, discover the new monographic exhibition by Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.
The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.
An international philately event under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II is organized from Thursday 5 to Saturday 7 December 2024, Principality of Monaco.
The traditional “100 Rareties” will be displayed at the Museum of Stamps and Coins in Fontvieille. In a completely new development for 2024, the themed exhibition devoted to the history of the postal service in the Far East and its stamps, along with the trade exhibition, will take place at the Conference Centre in the One Monte-Carlo complex. There will be lectures by internationally renowned philatelists between 10 am and 6 pm in the 100-seat auditorium.
One more exhibition opened this Friday: “Nouvelles Perspectives” (“New Perspectives”) held from Friday 6 to Friday 20 December 2024, 2 pm to 6 pm, Comité National Monégasque A.I.A.P – UNESCO.
The theme of this year’s salon, ‘Nouvelles Perspectives’, commemorates 75 years of UNESCO in the Principality with a special international project, METAVERSE, created as a way of inviting several different countries together.
