Laughter and wonder at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco this season!

The prestigious venue in the Larvotto district not only hosts professional conferences and congresses all year round, but is also the stage for numerous cultural shows, exhibitions, and performances. 

One of the most important dates on the calendar is the famous grand summer exhibition. This year's will be a retrospective dedicated to Claude Monet entitled "Monet: Capturing the Sun", showcasing around one hundred of the iconic impressionist artist's paintings. 

The Grimaldi Forum Monaco also presents shows for all the family, including "Around the World in 80 Days", adapted from the Jules Verne novel, on 3 and 3 December. 

A week later, on 10 December, the Voca People will be bringing their unique theatrical experience to the Principality, an incredible blend of comedy and vocal performance that has thrilled audiences around the world!
