In Pictures: Prince Albert II and Princess Caroline open Monaco Art Week 2026

Prince Albert II and Princess Caroline of Hanover opened the 8th edition of Monaco Art Week on Monday evening at the New National Museum of Monaco. The event, running until May 1, transforms the Principality into an open-air art trail with fourteen participating venues, including Artcurial, Sotheby's, Almine Rech Gallery, and the Hôtel des Ventes de Monte-Carlo, spread across La Condamine, Monte-Carlo, and Larvotto. The royal siblings toured the current exhibition "The Feeling of Nature," which explores works from Nicolas Poussin to contemporary art, featuring painting, sculpture, jewellery, and design. The week will culminate with the opening of the Art Monte-Carlo fair at the Grimaldi Forum, marking its 10th edition under the artistic direction of Stefano Rabolli Pansera.
