New National Museum of Monaco - Villa Paloma

Villa itself is a beautiful place with an amazing architectural heritage. Very nicely maintained. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Garden around the villa has a breathtaking view, has also some seats to simply relax surrounded by mediterranean plants and outdoor art installations. Temporary exhibition was very nicely prepared- interactive, with a lot of audiovisual materials, full of interesting photos and original art works. Besides the exposition viewer can admire contemporary art works displayed in some rooms. On the ground floor there is a very nice library/ activity room for children. In my opinion this museum is a must-see!

Stunning. Even just for the view over Nice. We saw the Chanel exhibition which was very creatively and thoughtfully curated. It is out of the way high above Monaco so you can catch several elevators and stairs up to the top. There is not cafe there but you can buy bottles of water at reception. Lockers are available so you are ‘hands free’ to enjoy the exhibits.

While walking around Monaco, I randomly passed by a museum and to my surprise the entrance was free! Such a lovely coincidence. Inside, there was an exhibition about Coco Chanel’s life and achievements, plus works from Pablo Picasso and other artists. I discovered things I never knew before, and it turned into one of those unexpected little adventures that make traveling so special.

I can recommend for all fashion lovers and Chanel collectors to visit “Coco Chanel” exhibition. It was nice and the place was beautiful inside and outside. Just don’t expect to see many of her work as dresses, jewellery and bags, just a few. A little disappointed. But it’s very good organised and I found some new information about her life and work. Thanks.

Ms. Chanel’s origin story, well told in video, clothing, art & artifacts. Inspiring and enlightening — villa Paloma is beautiful to visit and Sundays are free :)

If you like art (and even if you don’t) you should visit. The building is beautiful! Their garden and the view is also very pretty. We saw the George Condo exhibit. You can tell not many people know about it and that makes it more enjoyable as its not crowded. I highly recommend the visit.

Beautiful villa with a stunning view, but absolutely awful staff The villa itself is beautiful and offers a fantastic view over the old town — truly a gem in terms of location and architecture. However, the experience was completely ruined by the appalling behavior of the museum staff. We arrived half an hour before closing time with valid tickets, and that would have been more than enough time for a visit. Despite this, the staff flat-out refused to let us in, showing no flexibility or basic courtesy. Their attitude was incredibly rude and unprofessional — it was clear they had no interest in helping or even being polite. There's a complete lack of customer service and respect for visitors, which is shocking for a cultural institution. People with such disdain for others should not be working in roles that involve any public interaction. The staff's behavior left a bitter taste and overshadowed what could have been a lovely visit. A disgrace to such a beautiful place.

An absolutely lovely experience. Picturesque view, friendly staff, well curated exhibition, the vibes are vibing. Student tickets are free and the standard is €6 which you can also use at Villa Sauber for the current Newton exhibition. That’s a pity though that no one told use cause my mom paid twice. Otherwise an immaculate space.
