Young Eyes on Heritage: Monaco’s Architecture Through the Lens of 11–25-Year-Olds

Launched by Monaco’s Department of Cultural Affairs, the exhibition “Architectural Heritage of Monaco” highlights the photographic talent of young people aged 11 to 25. It features the 15 finalist works from the recent photo competition, selected by a panel of expert judges, now displayed on the grilles of the Jardins Saint-Martin, in Monaco-Ville.

Inaugurated on June 5, 2025, the exhibition encourages artistic expression and aims to raise awareness among younger generations about the importance of preserving Monaco’s built heritage. It’s a vibrant visual tribute to the facades, alleys, monuments, and architectural details that shape the identity of the Principality.

Adrian Blanchi, Andrea Brezzo, Léonie Massa, and Jeanna Grogorian were named winners by a youth jury composed of students from Monaco.

Beyond the awards given to the four laureates, all 15 featured participants will be offered an exclusive masterclass with renowned photographer Nick Danziger, supported by SOGEDA Monaco, to help them refine their artistic skills.

The exhibition remains open until October 5, 2025, coinciding with the European Heritage Days, which this year also focus on architectural heritage.
In 2026, the exhibition will travel to Strasbourg, as part of Monaco’s Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
