"Guided tour with Guillaume Theulière, Director of Menton Museums and co-curator of the exhibition

What is the purpose of this exhibition?

We are presenting the collection bequeathed by Séverin Wunderman to the city of Menton in 2005. He was one of the greatest collectors of Cocteau’s work, having assembled almost 2,000 works based on the “prince of poets” and his friendships with Sarah Bernhardt and other artists such as De Chirico and Modigliani. It was this exceptional collection that led to the construction of the museum. Following Storm Adrian in 2018, we needed a place to present this multidisciplinary collection, which includes some large-format works. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the donation, we wanted to use the space in the Galerie des Musées to showcase the collection before the Musée Cocteau reopens. With Sandrine Faraut Ruelle, head of the Musée Jean Cocteau – Séverin Wunderman collection and co-curator of the exhibition, we have selected one hundred works to show all aspects of Cocteau. It is a chronological and thematic tour, from his beginnings as an illustrator in the magazine Le Mot, to the Mediterranean years, while also showing works by other artists in the collection.

What about the set design?

To do this, we once again worked with Ahmad Reshad, who came up with a very elegant, sober, transparent set, inspired by the Ange Heurtebise, played by Cocteau in his play Orphée, recreating a kind of mirror crossing with plays of light and colour – extremely light, self-supporting picture rails that can also be reused, as Ahmad is always keen to be eco-responsible."

To mark the 100th anniversary of L’Obligation pour la roulette de Monte-Carlo, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer has partnered with the Palais Princier and the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM) to bring one of Duchamp’s most subversive works home.

This personal version of a bond, obligation in French, consists of a photograph taken by Man Ray of Marcel Duchamp, his hair saturated with shaving foam, set against a roulette wheel, in which the artist appears as the horned descendant of the god Pan. 

Marcel Duchamp did indeed produce his first Obligation pour la roulette de Monte-Carlo in winter 1924–25 with the aim of financing his elaborate financial conception. Typically Duchampian, this fruitless attempt to strike it big brought together two concepts that were central to his work: chance and value. A dedicated chess player, he stated he wanted to force roulette to become a chess game. In so doing, he addressed the randomness of roulette through calculation and probability. Yet, as is often the case with Duchamp, what is really at stake is to be found elsewhere. It resides in the mechanical idleness of a purposeless game. Essentially, he plays for the sake of playing – not to win, but to avoid losing – maintaining a constant balance between loss and gain, between rationality and passion.

Throughout its closure for renovation works, the MAMAC is reinventing its presence across the territory through off-site exhibitions, artwork loans, and mobile mediation programs. An exhibition module dedicated to Niki de Saint Phalle has been conceived, and this artistic and educational journey is being deployed in schools across the Nice Academy, reaching audiences who are distant from cultural institutions—particularly in rural areas and priority neighborhoods, but not exclusively. Designed by the MAMAC’s public engagement and exhibition teams, this mobile program brings together lithographs by Niki de Saint Phalle from the museum’s collection, along with a range of innovative and varied educational tools.

In Ancient Greece, the term ‘agora’ was both a meeting of citizens and the public space where the meeting took place. Such metonymy is also true of the museum (‘museion’). Originally a sanctuary for the Muses, the goddesses of the arts, the place became named after its inhabitants.

As part of the exhibition “AGORA, the Place of the Museum”, NMNM is converting Villa Sauber’s visitor reception into a pop-up store that sells artists’ objects. It is inviting WE DO NOT WORK ALONE to present its catalogue, the artist Jeanne Moynot to show her project RUBIS SUR L’ONGLE, and other artists AUTOUR DE NOUS whose production is naturally linked to everyday objects.

The pop-up store was commissioned from Ahmad Reshad, a Post-Master’s student at the Pavillon Bosio, École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Monaco.

The new exhibition at the Stade Louis-II takes visitors on a journey through 40 years of sporting and cultural history. Called “Once upon a first time,” the retrospective was unveiled in the presence of Prince Albert II, Louis Ducruet, Gérard Holtz, Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, Acting Minister of State, Sylvie Bertrand, Director of the Stade Louis-II, and a host of well-known Monegasque figures.

As the name suggests, the exhibition showcases the founding moments that have taken place over the forty-year lifespan of the Stade Louis-II. Press articles, archive photos, posters and objects loaned by different stakeholders in Monegasque sporting life.

Created in close collaboration with scenographer Ahmad Reshad, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the sporting, cultural, technical and institutional events that have made the venue so famous.

The “Once upon a first time”  exhibition was open to the public free of charge from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 31 October 2025 in the indoor pedestrian walkway at the Stade Louis-II. It’s a perfect way to bring back precious memories and make new discoveries.

Menton, a French garden town close to the Italian border, is paying tribute to several generations of artists and designers who, since the 1980s, have taken an interest in the world of flora, from both an ornamental and an organic perspective.

Through an environmentally responsible set design/ scenography based on the reuse of existing display units, this group exhibition presents pieces created by 12 artists at CIRVA, the International Glass and Visual Arts Research Centre in Marseille. Inspired by The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture, philosopher Emanuele Coccia’s seminal book, the Museum Gallery at Palais de l’Europe is presenting a selection of pieces from CIRVA’s collection, which were in turn inspired by the world of plants. The exhibition shows how the lives and growth processes of various flora feed into the work methods employed by artists.

Artist Luciano Chessa presents his work Monaco Veloce, a multi-sensory experience produced by the Théâtre Princesse Grace and the Principality of Monaco’s Direction des Affaires Culturelles.

Monaco Veloce is a reflection on speed, where movement, visual art and sound art merge. Vibrating strings, lights, motors and fixed supports create a synesthetic landscape.

Produced in collaboration with Ahmad Reshad and Gabriel-Noé Rosticher – young scenographers, a post-master students at the Pavillon Bosio, ESAP – and presented in collaboration with the Médiathèque de Monaco and the Automobile Club de Monaco,

Monaco Veloce opens up the theater to art for art’s sake, inviting the public to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience combining movement with visuals and sound.

the exhibition “Anti-Monument” highlights videos by seven artists from the Julia Stoschek Foundation, whose works examine how the ideological limitations underlying our built environments affect the body and formation of identity.   

The exhibition display has been designed in partnership with Pavillon Bosio, Monaco’s graduate school of art & scenography with Ahmad Reshad and Gabriel-Noé Rosticher.
