More than just an art show, “Colors!” is a celebration of creativity, emotion, and the power of colour to move and inspire. Monaco’s summer has never looked brighter!
Halfway through the summer season, the Grimaldi Forum’s blockbuster exhibition “Colors! Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou” has already surpassed 35,000 visitors, an extraordinary figure that confirms its status as one of Monaco’s major cultural events of the year…
Curated in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the show invites visitors of all ages into an immersive, multisensory journey through 20th-century art, guided by colour. From the moment guests enter the chromatic drum-inspired scenography, they are bathed in a rich tapestry of hues, soundscapes, and even scents. Iconic works are cleverly grouped not by artist or era, but by colour itself, offering a fresh, liberating experience that defies traditional chronology.
The goal was to beat last year’s Turner retrospective, which drew an impressive 65,000 attendees. With the current momentum and weeks still to go, organisers are optimistic they could reach 70,000 by the exhibition’s end. Early reviews from both the press and public have been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the bold presentation, educational value, and emotional resonance of the show.
Visitors have called it “fascinating,” “enriching,” and “brilliant,” with many particularly struck by the use of colour and clever layout. While opinions on the art itself may vary, as with any good exhibition, the consensus is clear: “Colors!” is a hit.
