You are up for a truly eventful weekend. with lots of spotlight events of different kinds taking place in the Principality. And here is your guide.
The 20th edition of Top Marques Monaco, under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, will show more than 150 of the rarest, most prestigious supercars of the past, present and future – all of them available to buy from Wednesday 7 to Sunday 11 May 2025 in the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
Top Marques Monaco is a world famous automobile exhibition held in the Principality every year. It’s one of the most exclusive events of its kind, the ultimate showroom for luxury carmakers, independent constructors and – for the last three years – classic cars.
Monaco International Dog Show, organised by La Société Canine de Monaco will be held from Saturday 10 to Sunday 11 May 2025 in Chapiteau de Fontvielle.
Organised by the Garden Club de Monaco under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and the Presidency of H.R.H. the Princess of Hanover, the 56th International Bouquet Competition is an unmissable event for all those who love plants, flowers, and floral decorations, held this year on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May 2025 in the Yacht Club de Monaco. The competition is open to all, from amateurs to professionals, decorators and floral art teachers. The theme for this year’s competition is “Flowers in Motion”.
An Immersive exhibition “There Was a First Time” has recently 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.

Among other interesting exhibitions there is one by the 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.
The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology is delighted to invite you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Explore whole rooms themed to the animal kingdom and biodiversity, and take a fascinating journey through archaeology and our natural history! It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.
Exhibition: “Agora, the Place of the Museum” is now open at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber.
Back in 2015, the NMNM debited its first ever LAB giving visitors a glimpse “behind the scenes of the museum”. Then in 2018, five guest artists were invited to produce their own musings on the very meaning of the museum itself. In 2025, as the Villa Sauber prepares to undergo a radical transformation, the NMNM is giving pride of place to its public-facing programmes, where the focus is on artists and promoting a wider sharing of art appreciation.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
