Until Londay 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm, Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique
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!

From Friday 6 December 2024 to Monday 21 April 2025, from 10 AM to 6 PM, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Paloma
The exhibition takes its name from "pietre paesine", ruined marble, whose geological markings are reminiscent of painted landscapes, on the boundary between figuration and abstraction. This analogy of nature and technique is a central theme in the work of Francisco Tropa, which focuses on the way in which an image appears and is perceived.

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.

From Sunday 2 March to Sunday 27 April 2025, Principality of Monaco
The Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo 2025 Festival will celebrate the centenary of Pierre Boulez, a leading figure in the world of contemporary music, who pioneering work and worldwide influence will be explored through a series of concerts, screenings, and performances. 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.

From Monday 17 March 2025 to Friday 30 January 2026, from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm to 5.30 pm, Institut Audiovisuel de Monaco
This exhibition looks at the cinematographic work of Cinéam, from its beginnings in the 1950s to the advent of video and the end of the 1980s, giving visitors a unique insight into the amateur filmmakers' club and its artisanal - even family-centric - approach to the cinematic arts, and showcasing its finest productions, which illustrate their own account of the Principality and its history.

Thursday 27 March 2025, at 7.30 pm, Auditorium Rainier III
Not merely a composer, conductor, and builder of institutions, Pierre Boulez was also a virtuoso when it came to courting controversy. This "confrontation concert" by the Ensemble Linea pits two composers against one another, one who felt the bite of Boulez' critique, the other a critic of Boulez himself. The first is André Jolivet (whose talent Boulez nonetheless acknowledged), the second Raphaël Cendo, an artist who loves to push the envelope and is known for his "saturated music" concept.

The woman claiming to be his wife... is not. More shocking still is the fact that, since they were only recently married, nobody else seems to know what Mme Corban looks like.
