Temporary closures

- ClosedNaval Museum (Musée Naval de Monaco)
- Closed for refurbishment for an indefinite period, and under the planned restructuring of the Terrasses de Fontvieille it must also leave the site. No relocation has been confirmed.
- ClosedNouveau Musée National de Monaco — Villa Sauber
- The museum has two villas and only one is open. Villa Paloma is operating; Villa Sauber is closed for renovation and extension with no published reopening date. Plan your visit around Villa Paloma’s current exhibition.
If you are planning around any of these, check the venue’s own site on the day. Allow a little flexibility in your itinerary.
Moved
- MovedThe Prince’s Car Collection
- Moved in July 2022, after nearly thirty years at the Terrasses de Fontvieille, to 54 route de la Piscine at Port Hercule in La Condamine. Head to Port Hercule for your visit.
Plan around the programme
- Check firstGrimaldi Forum
- The building operates normally, but it has no opening hours of its own. It is a venue, not an attraction: hours belong to whatever event is running, and between events much of it is closed to the public. Choose an event first, then check its opening and admission times.
