Monaco: Damien Hirst’s “Virgin Mother”

While visiting Monaco recently on a cruise on the Ruby Princess, we were surprised to see a large statue of a pregnant women gracing the seawall of the Fontvieille Harbor in Monaco. 

If you are visiting Monaco before September 30, 2010 you will also have the opportunity to view the 30-foot tall “Virgin Mother” sculpture by Damien Hirst.  The sculpture is part a major exhibition of works titled "Cornucopia" by the British artist at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
