Principality of Monaco

Take Care of Wonder
“We love what we marvel at, and we protect what we love” – Jacques-Yves COUSTEAU

The theme of the Monaco pavilion, “Take Care of Wonder”, aims to raise visitors’ awareness of environmental themes through immersive experiences present in the outdoor spaces and pavilions, while showcasing the beauty of Monaco’s territory.

For example, imagine the feeling of jumping into the ocean for the first time, discovering a world full of life, filled with fluid shapes and the intricate beauty of the ocean floor. In one of its buildings, the Monaco Pavilion will invite you to explore this dark yet mesmerizing underwater realm. Visitors will be able to go to a breathtaking circular space with its very high ceiling that encourages the visitor to embark on a magical journey that directs their gaze upwards, as if in a cathedral.

Visitors will feel like they are entering a mysterious ecosystem, a forest of luminous elements that evoke the emblematic forms of the underwater world. They will be immersed in the depths of the ocean. It is more than a journey into the ocean—it is a call to protect and cherish our planet’s most precious environments.

Visitors could also stroll through the garden and encounter new experiences. This open space inspired by the Principality's gardens will also reflects Monaco's care and attention to nature, through an intuitive journey where they discover how Monaco's actions have extended beyond its borders.

By blending, beauty with sustainability, the Principality of Monaco pavilion journey emphasizes to visitors that caring for nature equates to caring for ourselves, and that by taking care of the fragile wonder of this planet, we are contributing to the survival of the human species.
