On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the wedding of Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly, the Prince’s Palace of Monaco presents an exceptional exhibition “Wedding of the Century”, dedicated to this internationally renowned event from 18 June to 25 September 2026.
This summer, the Prince of Monaco’s Car Collection museum is inviting the public to discover an exhibition dedicated to the evolution of the automobile, from generation to generation. “From Yesterday to Today” will be presented from 22 June to 13 September 2026, in the Collection’s mezzanine space. The exhibition will juxtapose classic models that have marked automobile history with their newer versions.
Through a selection of iconic models, visitors will be able to compare and contrast how cars from specific manufacturers have evolved over the decades. The exhibition will be presented in pairs that combine legends of yesteryear with today’s supercars.
In the summer of 2026, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco will host an exceptional exhibition tracing the unique relationship that has united the Principality and the automobile for more than a century “Monaco and the Automobile, From 1893 to the Present Day”.
