The work of Isaac Monté has been shown in a variety of museums, galleries and exhibitions in Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Italy, USA, Austria, Hungary, United Arabian Emirates, China, United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. His work is part of several private collections in Europe and the USA. "The Meat Project" is part of the permanent collection of The Centre Pompidou, Paris.
