The Auditorium Rainier III is the main hall of Monaco’s Congress Centre, on boulevard Louis II. Memoria has not found the inauguration date of the building itself: the published chronology rests on named operation (1986) and governance (tourism, then culture).

Documented operation

From 1986, the Journal de Monaco announces performances at the Auditorium Rainier III of the Congress Centre. In 1998, the complex was still under tourism and congresses; in 2002 it moved to the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Works

The 2001 ordinance allocates a renovation credit for the Congress Centre Auditorium — without detailing the construction schedule in the excerpt consulted.
