#hello_monaco weekend: what to do on June 10th and June 11th

Time flies quickly and it’s again Friday when you make plans for the weekend. And HelloMonaco is ready to share our suggestions on what to do in Monaco the next two days.

18th edition of Top Marques Monaco, Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, with an even greater line-up of supercars, classic cars, motorbikes, and transport innovations than ever before is held this week at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.

The Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco invites you to the 1st edition of the Green Shift Festival this week, an event dedicated to new ecological narratives.

This first edition will take place from 7th to 10th June 2023, every evening from 7 to 8.30 pm, on the Promenade du Larvotto in Monaco.

The ambition is to propose a convivial place of discussions in order to encourage, through a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, the emergence of new narratives, allowing us to explore different ways of living together, more resilient, conscious and inclusive.

A spectacular sound and light show on the walls of the Prince’s Palace will be the big highlight of this special evening on the occasion of the 4th Meeting of the Historical Sites of the Grimaldis of Monaco on Saturday 10 June, at 10 pm, telling the story of the Grimaldi Dynasty through its links to the family’s former “fiefdoms”, which will be special guests at this year’s event. The colourful show will delve into history, giving spectators a taste of the “adventures” of the Sovereigns of Monaco!

The emblematic tournament in front of the Monte-Carlo Casino, A1PADEL: CBM Monaco Masters, is being held from the 5th to the 11th of June 2023.

Symphonic Concert of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra: “Monumental” with Juraj Valčuha (conductor), Sergey Khachatryan (violin) Sunday 11 June 2023, at 6 pm in Auditorium Rainier III. On the programme: music by Beethoven and Shostakovich.

There are many new exhibitions opened this week in Monaco to mark the centenary of the birth of Prince Rainier III: exhibition “Prince Rainier III, above all a sailor”,  “The Prince and his animals”, Path of the Prince Rainier III sculptures, exhibition “The Prince at home”.

Discover a different side of Prince Albert I from Monday 20 March to Sunday 31 December 2023, from 9 am to 6 pm, in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique! Meet the prehistorian prince, the scientist and explorer, and trace the history of his archaeological expeditions. From the Grimaldi caves to Spain, from the founding of the Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology to the Paris Institute of Human Paleontology, visitors will follow the incredible journey and archaeological ideas of a fascinating, and fascinated Prince.

In accordance with the wishes of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, the exhibition in tribute to André Laban is in place from Saturday 1 April to Wednesday 31 May 2023 in Galerie des Pêcheurs. The pioneer of the Cousteau team and inventor of underwater painting is internationally renowned.

Nouveau Musée National de Monaco invites you to see its new exhibition “George Condo – Humanoids” open from Friday 31 March to Sunday 1 October 2023, in Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma.

For George Condo, “the Humanoid is not a science fiction monster, but a depiction that uses traditional methods to bring a person’s inner emotions to the surface”. Over the course of eight sections, the exhibition traces the continuity of a profuse body of work that ranges from “space beings” to Who’s Who, from Guido Reni to Bugs Bunny. Featuring specially produced paintings, the exhibition offers a glimpse of the artist’s process of invention – as crazy as it is erudite – of humanoids.

Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.

So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
