March promises to be a particularly lively month in the Principality. Exhibitions, culture, community engagement and sport: this month’s events calendar has something for everyone.
Gone are the winter, the rain and the cold. The Principality is emerging from its winter slumber to welcome a particularly busy start to the cultural, sporting and comedy season. Theatres, museums, stages and stadiums are coming alive with a variety of events. Here’s an overview of what’s in store for you.
Culture is here to stay
Until 25 May, the New National Museum of Monaco invites you to discover its brand new exhibition, ‘Le Sentiment de la Nature’ (The Feeling of Nature). Five paintings by Nicolas Poussin resonate with contemporary works, all united around the lyricism of nature.
The Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology in Monaco is unveiling a new exhibition entitled ‘From Toumaï to Sapiens’ until 16 October, inviting visitors to trace the history of human evolution.
As it does every year at this time, the Printemps des Arts returns to take over the Principality’s stages. The 2026 edition begins on 11 March and runs until 19 April, with an ambitious programme combining classical and contemporary music with new discoveries.
