A bit of background

At the end of the 1950s car enthusiast Prince Rainier III began collecting old cars. His collection gradually grew over the years as he acquired more and more models from majestic body work to gleaming hoods and regal radiator grilles!

In 1993, Prince Rainier III decided to open his precious collection to the public. Initially located on the Terrasses de Fontvieille, the Cars Collection of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco moved into its new modern setting next to the Swimming pool complex in the harbour in July 2022.

This 3500m2 exhibition, unique in the world, brings together around a hundred-odd different cars, from a 1903 DE DION BOUTON to the 2013 LOTUS F1 via HISPANO SUIZA, ROLLS ROYCE, JAGUAR, LINCOLN, FACEL VEGA, DELAGE, DELAHAYE, PACKARD, HUMBER, NAPIER, FERRARI, MASERATI, LAMBORGHINI, ALFA ROMEO, the LEXUS used for the royal wedding in 2011, and without forgetting the racing cars seen at the Monte Carlo Rally and the Formula 1s from the Monaco Grand Prix.
