This pluralist and diverse collection can be presented from various thematic angles : performing arts, representations of the human body, or landscape and the relation to nature. An important part of this collection originates from the Villa Sainte Cécile’s Musée des Beaux-arts which displayed – between 1935 and 1958 – sculptures, ceramics, vues d’optique, paintings, drawings and etchings related to the Principality of Monaco and its surroundings, such as François-Joseph and Jean-François Bosio’s (Monegasque sculptor and engraver) neoclassical works.
