Villa Paloma

Villa Paloma, built at the beginning of the 20th century, remained in the possession of private owners for a long time. It was bought by the Monegasque State in 1995.

The Villa Paloma was inaugurated in 2010, therefore becoming the second exhibition space of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. It spreads out on three floors, and its exhibition surface is 875sqm.

Located at the entrance of Monaco, next to the Jardin Exotique and the Musée d’anthropologie préhistorique it keeps its original aspect, at the heart of a terraced garden overlooking the city. Its “antique-style” gardens were created by Octave Godard, the most gifted student of famous landscape designer Édouard André (1840-1911).
