Villa Sauber & Villa Paloma, Monaco

---

The New National Museum of Monaco (NMNM) is a contemporary visual art museum housed in two historic villas, Villa Sauber and Villa Paloma, both located in Monaco. Villa Sauber, built in the early 1900s with Belle Époque architecture, was once owned by the prominent Blanc family and now hosts rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, including works by well-known international artists.

Villa Paloma, dating from 1913, features stained glass, mosaics, and Art Nouveau décor, and serves as the museum's other exhibition space with a focus on contemporary art and thematic shows related to urbanism, ecology, and cultural history.

The museum holds around 10,000 artworks, including sculptures, paintings, and decorative arts, blending historic charm with innovative programming, and offers educational activities, workshops, and public events to engage visitors. Both villas contribute to Monaco’s cultural scene by showcasing cutting-edge art in architecturally and historically significant settings.
