New National Museum of Monaco, National museum in Monaco

The New National Museum of Monaco (NMNM) is a contemporary visual art museum spread over two villas: Villa Paloma, a 1913 patrician house with 875 m² of exhibition space, and Villa Sauber, one of Monaco's last Belle Époque villas. Both venues stage temporary exhibitions, two per year across the two sites, rather than separate permanent displays.

The state bought Villa Paloma in 1995 and assigned it to the New National Museum of Monaco in 2008, when the villa was converted into a museum with 875 m² of exhibition space. Villa Sauber, one of Monaco's last Belle Époque villas, was bought by the Société immobilière domaniale in 1957 and is now the museum's second venue for temporary exhibitions. Marie-Claude Beaud directed the museum from 2009 to 2021; Björn Dahlström was appointed in 2022.

The museum's collection includes dolls and devotional boxes from the Galéa Collection, sculptures by François-Joseph Bosio (1768–1845), stage costumes and accessories, set models, architectural models and plans, and graphic arts and paintings. Temporary exhibitions have paired it with the Yves Saint-Laurent museum in Marrakech for "Cactus" at Villa Sauber (2025–2026).

The two venues are separate villas: Villa Paloma on the Rocher side of Monaco and Villa Sauber near the Casino, so plan transport between them. Villa Paloma offers 875 m² of exhibition space over four levels, linked by a grand staircase that continues down to the garden level. Check each villa's opening days before setting out, since exhibitions change twice a year.

The collection also holds dolls and devotional boxes from the Galéa Collection, sculptures by François-Joseph Bosio (1768–1845), stage costumes and accessories, and architectural models and plans. The museum's two sites each mount two exhibitions a year, so the displays change often.
