Museums/Monuments - Monaco Monte-Carlo

Built with the stark white stones from La Turbie in 1875, this Roman-Byzantine-style building houses the burial places of past sovereigns, including Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

This 11th century votive chapel is dedicated to the Principality's and Princely family's Patron Saint.

The Exotic Garden of Monaco has been a unique site since it was opened to the public in 1933. In its prestigious, open-air setting, it brings together a wide variety of “succulent” plants.

Boasting an invaluable series of burials originating from around the Principality, this museum retraces the most significant milestones in the history of humanity.

Against a 17th century baroque background, this museum houses the masterpieces of sacred art by Rubens, Zurbaran, Ribera and the masters of Italian baroque.

Of modern design, this museum contains rare philatelic specimens from the postal history of the Principality, as well as all the documents used to print the stamps since the first “Charles III” in 1885 to today.

Depuis plusieurs mois, l’équipe du Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM) réfléchit, inventorie, organise, questionne... Elle sollicite historiens, restaurateurs, designers, éclairagistes, reçoit des artistes et cherche à renouveler notre regard sur la notion de patrimoine ainsi que la manière de le transmettre au public.

Constructed on the side of the southern face of the Grimaldi Rock, this garden was founded in 1954 by HSH Prince Rainier III.

A stylized replica of the great outdoors, with its mountain, hill, waterfall, beach and brook, this surprising 7000 m2 park is an authentic work of art created by respecting the strictest principles of the Zen concept of compactness.

Located in the South Wing of the Prince's Palace, this museum harbours a rich collection of objects, documents, engravings, medals and decorations, as well as paintings and other valuable pieces. Some are rare, most are moving (busts of Napoleon By Canova and Houdon, the flag of the Island of Elba, the famous crib of the King of Rome) together they map out Monaco's journey across the centuries, particularly the period of the First Empire.
