New National Museum of Monaco – Villa Sauber, National museum in Monaco.
The New National Museum of Monaco – Villa Sauber is a contemporary art museum housed in a Belle Époque building with multiple gallery spaces. The museum works alongside a sister venue to present rotating exhibitions of modern and current artistic works.
The property was developed in the early 1900s by a family involved in creating the Monte Carlo Casino. A British painter acquired it in 1904 and used it as both his residence and artistic workspace.
The name comes from a British painter who purchased the property in the early 1900s and established his studio there. This artistic heritage continues to shape the exhibitions displayed within its rooms today.
The museum sits near Larvotto Beach and is easy to reach on foot if you are in that area. The layout is straightforward with clear paths through the gallery spaces.
From 1972 to 2008, one wing of the house displayed an extensive collection of handmade dolls to the public. This unexpected focus was a reminder of how museum spaces can shift their purpose over time.

Monaco has many sites to see if you are interested in history and buildings. The Prince's Palace is from the thirteenth century and has changed over the years into a Renaissance palace. The Monte-Carlo Casino, built in 1863, invites visitors to see its richly decorated rooms. There is also the Cathedral of Monaco, a white stone building built between 1875 and 1884, where the tombs of the ruling princes are found. These buildings show the history of the country and how it grew over time. The country also has natural areas and places focused on science. The Oceanographic Museum shows tanks filled with sea creatures from around the world. The Exotic Garden is on a cliff and has been collecting succulents and cacti since 1933. By the sea, the yacht harbor is a busy place, and the beaches are great for relaxing in the sun. While walking around Monaco, you will see car museums, churches, archaeological sites, and botanical gardens. Each place tells a story about Monaco, whether it is long ago or recent. Monaco is easy to visit on foot, so you can go from one site to another without trouble.
