Exhibition - "Agora, the Place of the Museum"
From Friday 24 January to Sunday 4 May 2025, 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.

The Festival will also showcase the artistic connections between Boulez and painter Francis Bacon. Six of Bacon's paintings, created around the time the two men met in Paris, illustrate the themes of human fragility and time and reflect on the ways in which music and painting each inspire the other. The dialogue between two of the 20th century's great cultural geniuses is a unique immersion in their artistic world.
