Family Concert – Noah’s Journey

The LABs offer visitors the opportunity to explore the museum as a "laboratory" in which its roles (collecting, studying, disseminating, producing, conserving and transmitting) are the subject of reflection, experimentation and innovation. In 2015, the NMNM launched its first LAB and exhibited "Behind the Scenes of the Museum", followed by another LAB in 2018, where five artists were invited to redefine the museum through a new lens.In 2025, ahead of major structural renovations to the Villa Sauber, the NMNM will be prioritising its public engagement programmes, which focus on artists and unveiling their artistic expression. The works acquired since 2017 as part of the "Apprentis collectionneurs" programme will be exhibited alongside pieces from the heritage collections. Visitors will also be able to discover the works of Léna Durr and Éléonore False, artists who were recently invited to take up creative residencies.By inviting Olivier Vadrot to create a new architectural design, this LAB, conceived by Benjamin Laugier, will provide a space for discussion and collective experiences within the museum. A series of meetings, screenings and performances will be held throughout the exhibition, giving rise to new projects."La collection voyageuse", "le Nouveau Musée Numérique" and Léa Collet's current residency will be the subject of regular workshops, along with the "Écoletopie" project by the Smarin studio, who will be creating a mediation lounge.A collaborative publication will also be produced during the exhibition with Éditions Empire. 

During the traditional concert of the conservatoires, the stage is open to young musicians from the Rainier III Academy of Monaco and the region's conservatoires. This year's event is sponsored by the cellist Henri Demarquette.

The first part of the Viennese diptych proposed by the four bows of the Akilone Quartet this weekend: after Webern's aphorisms (Bagatelles op. 9), Alban Berg's moving and mysterious Lyrical Suite is combined with its model, Ludwig van Beethoven's impressive Thirteenth Quartet, with its monumental final fugue.
