The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco presents ‘Victor Brauner, The Magical Adventure’

Villa Paloma, 56 Boulevard du Jardin Exotique -  3 July 2026 / 3 January 2027
 

From 3 July 2026, the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM) is hosting an exhibition celebrating the work of Victor Brauner, one of the leading figures of the international Surrealist movement. 

Designed by Christophe Martin, ‘Victor Brauner, The Magical Adventure’ shines a light on an artist whose rich and distinctive work remains relatively little known.

The exhibition includes more than 160 pieces, including paintings, drawings and sculptures spanning Brauner's career from the 1920s to the 1960s. All come from an exceptional private collection based in Monaco. Also on display are ten non-Western artworks from Victor Brauner's personal collection, on loan from the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Saint-Étienne.

Influenced by Romanian avant-garde artists, his encounter with André Breton, and mythology and esotericism, Brauner created a unique visual world in which the fantastical, the marvellous, and the symbolic combine to form a deeply personal artistic vision.

‘This exhibition in Monaco invites visitors to discover the magical world of this great artist through a unique private collection showcasing one of the twentieth century's most distinctive and captivating bodies of work’, said Camille Morando, the exhibition's curator.
