Audiovisual Institute of Monaco

The Audiovisual Institute of Monaco, located at L’Engelin, 83-85, boulevard du Jardin Exotique, 98000 Monaco, can be reached at +377 97 98 43 26. Established in 1997 as the Association of the Audiovisual Archives of the Principality of Monaco, it was renamed to its current title in August 2018. The Institute’s primary mission is to identify, collect, restore, protect, conserve, distribute, and promote audio and visual materials related to Monaco. This includes both professional and amateur content, as well as associated documents and films entrusted to the Institute. By organizing projects using archival material, the Institute also contributes to audiovisual production. Through these efforts, it aims to raise public awareness about the importance of film conservation and its value as an educational, historic, and cultural resource. While the Institute’s collections primarily focus on documents connected to the Principality of Monaco, they also include items of international audiovisual heritage. Notable holdings include the audiovisual collections of Télé Monte-Carlo and “Monaco Info,” the Principality’s news channel. The Institute also collects various cinema-related items such as photographs, posters, magazines, books, and memorabilia. These collections grow through donations, entrusted items, and acquisitions. Since 1998, the Institute has been distributing Monaco’s audiovisual heritage under the “Monaco on film” label. It actively participates in cultural events like the Printemps des Arts spring festival and collaborates with organizations such as the Prince Pierre of Monaco Foundation. The Institute frequently partners with the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco for exhibitions. In 2004, it launched “Cinema Tuesdays,” an annual series of screenings dedicated to promoting Monaco’s artistic and cinematographic culture.
