Grimaldi Forum technology goes on tour!
Known for hosting state-of-the-art cultural exhibitions, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco is now exporting its know-how in the form of tailor-made stands for trade fairs. Composed of several modular elements: desks, show cases, LED screens and more, this tailor-made stand is fully adaptable. Stored in the Grimaldi Forum hangar in Carros between events, it will be transported, assembled and disassembled by a dedicated team to nine upcoming trade fairs across Europe, including: Milan, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin.
The Grimaldi Forum’s expansion is currently in progress in the Mareterra district and will result in 6,000 more indoor square metres and 2,000 more square metres by 2025. In two years, the extra space will help the cultural centre host even more and larger events.
