The expansive collection of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco is housed in two buildings, the Villa Paloma near the Jardin Exotique and the Villa Sauber on Avenue Princesse Grace. The museum presents a diverse collection of artworks dating to the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, theater costumes, models of stage sets, decorative objects, ceramics, and sculptures. This forward-thinking museum is also devoted to conservation work, such as the restoration of an antique doll from 1880 and vintage theatrical costumes. The museum encourages dialogue between artists and researchers and promotes learning across artistic, cultural, and scientific disciplines.
