This weekend is fast approaching and we are waiting not only to see the finals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters but many other interesting sports and cultural events. You can learn more about them here.
The Principality is anxiously waiting for the results of the most prestigious clay court tournament, the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters taking place in the stunning setting of Monte-Carlo Country Club which is coming to the end this Sunday.
From Friday, April 11, at 4 p.m., to Sunday, April 13, at 4 p.m., Monaco will host the 4x4x48 Run Challenge, a major sporting challenge benefiting the Princess Charlene Foundation. The concept is simple, yet demanding: run 6.5 km (4 miles) every four hours for 48 hours, or 12 races in total.
As a bonus, an optional donation of 100 euros will reward you with a limited-edition t-shirt and a drink to celebrate the end of the event on Sunday.
A portion of this donation will also be donated to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, an association that works to prevent drowning and promotes children’s education through the values of sport.

A new exhibition opens this weekend in Monaco: The Oceanographic Institute of Monaco presents “Mediterranean 2050”, a 1,000 m² immersive exhibition at the Oceanographic Museum from Saturday, March 29, 2025. This brand-new, immersive and interactive exhibition aims to inspire visitors to the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco to take a different interest in the Mediterranean and commit to its protection, through a space-time journey to 2050.

Among other interesting exhibitions there is one by the Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.
The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.
The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology is delighted to invite you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Explore whole rooms themed to the animal kingdom and biodiversity, and take a fascinating journey through archaeology and our natural history! It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.
Exhibition: “Agora, the Place of the Museum” is now open at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber.
Back in 2015, the NMNM debited its first ever LAB giving visitors a glimpse “behind the scenes of the museum”. Then in 2018, five guest artists were invited to produce their own musings on the very meaning of the museum itself. In 2025, as the Villa Sauber prepares to undergo a radical transformation, the NMNM is giving pride of place to its public-facing programmes, where the focus is on artists and promoting a wider sharing of art appreciation.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
