'Monaco-Alexandria: the grand detour: World-capitals and cosmopolitan Surrealism' is an exhibition of modern art from Alexandria – including works never before shown outside Egypt – running from December 17, 2021 until May 2, 2022 at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM), the Principality of Monaco’s national museum. Exploring cultural dialogue across the Mediterranean in the early twentieth century, the exhibition is curated by Morad Montazami and Madeleine de Colnet for Zamân Books & Curating at the NMNM-Villa Sauber in Monaco. The exhibition publication, and the public and education programme, are produced with the participation of Community Jameel and the support of the Alexis and Anne-Marie Habib Foundation.
