Inside Monet combines a walk through the Nervi Parks, on the eastern edge of Genoa, with a virtual reality experience in the rooms of the Raccolte Frugone museum. It is open from 6 April to 31 December 2026. With a headset you step inside five works by Claude Monet: Impression, Sunrise, Poppies, The Walk, Haystacks and The Water Lily Pond. The tour then sets the Impressionist in dialogue with the paintings of the Frugone collection, while the gardens act as an open-air studio full of scents, colours and sea views. The project is by Way Experience, with scientific advice from ADMaiora and from the museum's curator Simona Parigi; the same approach was used earlier at the Doria Natural History Museum. Opening hours and tickets on the Inside Monet Genova website.
