As every year since its inauguration in 2000, the Grimaldi Forum will be hosting a major summer exhibition. "Turner, the Sublime Legacy” will run from 6 July to 1 September 2024.
One Master after another...
Following “Monet in Full Light” in summer 2023, the Grimaldi Forum
Monaco is once again set to host a landmark exhibition in 2024. "Turner,
the Sublime Legacy” is an extraordinary journey into the world of one of the
greatest European painters of the 19th century: Joseph Mallord William Turner.
Presenting a collection of the artist’s major works in a brand new
scenography extending across more than 2,000 m2, the exhibition
looks at the landscapes and elemental explorations of light and atmosphere of
which Turner was a precursor and a master.

His decisive influence on painting, and by extension his legacy, are
highlighted by interpretations of the sublime by leading contemporary artists
including Richard Long, Olafur Eliasson, Cornelia Parker, Jessica Warboys, John
Akomfrah, Katie Paterson, Peter Doig, and Mark Rothko.

Retrospective…
Since its inauguration on 20 July 2000 by Prince Rainier III and Prince
Albert II of Monaco, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco (GFM) has hosted a major
exhibition every summer devoted to an artistic movement, a particular subject
of heritage or civilisation, or any theme that expresses the renewal of
creation.

The GFM collaborates with the world's leading cultural institutions,
including museums, foundations and galleries, who recognise the success of
these major summer exhibitions by loaning important works of art.
Thanks to the quality of its summer exhibitions, the Grimaldi Forum has
established itself as an important cultural venue in its own right.
