Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma
NMNM – Villa Paloma
A contemporary art museum in a Belle Époque villa beside the Jardin Exotique. It rotates modern and contemporary art exhibitions, and the garden overlooks the sea.
The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM) focuses on contemporary art and Monaco's artistic heritage. Villa Paloma, its main venue, was built in the early 20th century, sits below the Jardin Exotique, and has a garden overlooking the bay. The museum has no permanent displays. Instead, it hosts two or three major exhibitions each year covering contemporary art, design and architecture. Tickets cost about €6. The museum shares the area with the Jardin Exotique, so you can visit both together. It may be closed between exhibitions, so check the official website for the current programme before you go.
Opening hours
Daily 10:00–18:00 during exhibition run
