HSH Prince Albert II visits Palace made of Matchsticks and other princely news

A Princely Palace made entirely of matchsticks, created by Gérard Guttin, a Monegasque resident, was viewed by Prince Albert Himself on Thursday. The intricate sculpture took the artist four years to create. 32,000 matchsticks, 200 tubes of glue and seven hours of work per day went into the miniature reproduction of the Prince’s Palace. The artist never imagined that he would one day be congratulated by Prince Albert II.

The Prince’s Palace was part of artist Gérard Guttin’s neighbourhood for many years. His father, Robert, was one of the Prince’s rifleman. He lived on the third floor of the Rocher barracks with four other families and their dining room overlooked the Place du Palais. Exhibited in front of its life-sized inspiration, the model can be visited for the next several months. During a lengthy conversation with the artist, Prince Albert asked Gérard Guttin if he would like to create a reproduction of the oceanographic museum next.
