The City’s Animation Department echoes the summer exhibition organized by the Grimaldi Forum and entitled “The Gold of the Pharaohs” by decorating the Quai Albert I with giant sphinxes, statues, columns and Egyptian busts, as well as a majestic throne. The area at the Rotunda in front of the Rainier III Nautical Stadium was decorated in the colors of Egypt! As in previous years, pergolas and vegetation offer popular shading areas by passersby in this summer period.
Finally on August 19th, the closing concert will be given by a great Japanese artist, whom we are very happy to welcome to Monaco.
13th International Organ Festival with Mami Sakato (Japan) is organised by the Department of Cultural Affairs on Sunday 19 August, at 5 pm, Cathédrale de Monaco.
