Are you ready for the Easter weekend? This Saturday and Sunday there are lot’s of fun and interesting activities from kids and adults.
On Saturday, April 19, between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., the Botanical Center of the Exotic Garden of Monaco will host the now (very) famous plant hunt! Children aged 3 to 12, who attend school or live in Monaco, will have to find small plants hidden along the edge of the flowerbeds. Once their mission is complete, they will leave with a bag of chocolate eggs.
And on Sunday, April 20th, from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Princess Antoinette Park will host an inflatable structure, face painting booths, creative workshops, fun wooden games, a balloon sculptor, mascots, and a photo booth, much to the delight of children (and adults)! In addition, and just like last year, farmyard animals will take over the upper part of the park.
Football fans have on their schedule a game of Ligue 1 French Football Championship: AS Monaco – RC Strasbourg Alsace held on Saturday 19 20 April 2025 at 7 pm on Stade Louis II.
On a more serious note, the second edition of the Forum of Foreign Universities of Monaco (FUEM), organized by the Association of Parents of Students of Monaco (APEM), will open its doors on Wednesday, April 19, 2025, at the Auditorium Rainier III. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., young people seeking academic excellence will be able to explore a multitude of international paths by interacting directly with representatives of prestigious institutions from around the world.

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!
