The most anticipated cultural events of the summer!

"Monet en pleine lumière" Exhibition

Following the exhibition showcasing the works and imagination of designer Christian Louboutin, the Grimaldi Forum is putting Claude Monet firmly in the spotlight in summer 2023! The cultural institutions will be displaying around one hundred paintings by the celebrated impressionist who, like many artists in the latter half of the 19th century, spent some time on the Rivieria.
