From September 23 to November 6, 2026, coinciding with the Monaco Yacht Show, the Hartford Fine Art – Lampronti Gallery Monaco will present Lumières sur la Lagune (Lights on the Lagoon), an exceptional exhibition dedicated to Venetian view painting. Conceived by renowned antiquarian and gallerist Cesare Lampronti, the show brings together around thirty masterpieces by ten of the most important vedutisti active between the late 17th and 18th centuries.
There are many interesting exhibitions taking place in Monaco. For example, exhibition “Preserving the Mediterranean. RAMOGE, a pioneering agreement for 50 years” is organized in the lobby of the Ministry of State from June 29 till October 30, 2026.
The exhibition is jointly prepared by the National Archives of Monaco and the Executive Secretariat of the RAMOGE Agreement, in partnership with the Archives of the Prince’s Palace and the Audiovisual Institute of Monaco, entitled “Preserving the Mediterranean: RAMOGE, a pioneering agreement for 50 years”.
Signed on May 10, 1976, in the Throne Room of the Prince’s Palace—a unique event in the contemporary history of Monaco for an agreement of this type—at the initiative of Prince Rainier III, the RAMOGE Agreement unites France, Monaco, and Italy around the protection of the marine environment and the coastline of an area initially extending from Saint-Raphaël to Genoa, and later expanded from the mouth of the Rhône to that of the Magra. For half a century, this pioneering instrument of trilateral cooperation has been carrying out concrete actions in the areas of marine biodiversity, pollution control, and raising awareness of Mediterranean environmental issues. Fifty years after its signing, it remains at the forefront, the only agreement in the Mediterranean combining anti-pollution measures with biodiversity preservation.
