The importance of culture in Monaco
In keeping with the Princes of Monaco's longstanding history of arts patronage, the Prince's Government enacts an effective cultural policy that boosts the Principality's international cultural influence yet maintains rich cultural offerings within the Principality and strives to preserve and enhance local heritage. The Principality's ambitious cultural policy is implemented by the Department of Cultural Affairs, overseen by the Ministry of Interior.

The voluntary sector and artists
The voluntary sector and artists also play an active role in the Principality's cultural appeal, offering a comprehensive programme of events throughout the year, most of which are held in local cultural venues. In addition, several administrative and promotional support measures have been implemented by the Prince's Government, with the Department of Cultural Affairs entrusted with its management.
