Chemin des sculptures Rainier III
The long tradition of artistic patronage led by the princes of Monaco continues under the reign of Prince Rainier III. Under his leadership, from 1987 to 2004, the Principality of Monaco hosted The Monte-Carlo International Sculpture Festival. During this period, at the request of the Prince, the Government acquired some of the works exhibited during this event and installed them permanently in the public space of the Principality. Orders but also donations have enriched this collection over the years. To date, it constitutes a heritage route that winds through the different districts of the city, rich in more than two hundred works and fountains by eclectic artists.
A heritage trail, rich in several hundred works and fountains by artists, winds its way through the different districts of the city. More than 150 sculptures are thus to be discovered, installed in the streets and gardens of the Principality.
Cartels installed near each sculpture allow you, by flashing the QR code present, to access details on the specific history of the work, its author and its relationship to the Principality.
An interactive map positions these sculptures and, subject to having authorized geolocation on your phone, guides you to the next sculpture.
