For those who were planning to visit the exhibition devoted to Eugène Frey in the New National Museum of Monaco at Paloma, fortunately it is reopening again. It was suddenly closed in mid-March after only few days of showing – just as the quarantine closed everything.
Frey was the inventor of unique lighting systems and opera decorations in the early twentieth century. Included in the exhibition is a contemporary vision created by the Portuguese artist João Maria Gusmão.
And you have a young artist in your family, Villa Paloma has Family workshops just for you. These workshops take place on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participation in family workshops is free after payment of the entry fee if applicable.
