The Grimaldi Forum’s exhibition “Monaco and the Automobile” has now welcomed more than 50,000 visitors, confirming strong public appetite for a show tracing the Principality’s remarkable relationship with the world of motoring. Residents, tourists and car enthusiasts alike have been drawn in by a journey blending heritage, innovation and genuine emotion.
The exhibition offers visitors an immersive look at the automotive story that has helped shape both Monaco’s identity and its international profile, bringing together an impressive collection of exceptional vehicles under one roof, each one a marker of a particular chapter in the evolution of design, performance and engineering innovation.
Beyond the cars themselves, the exhibition is built around the stories behind them: the personalities, milestones and behind-the-scenes moments that have shaped this singular chapter of Monaco’s history. The route through the exhibition has also proven a hit with visitors looking for a memorable, photogenic experience, with each section offering its own striking backdrop.
Organisers say the exhibition’s appeal reaches well beyond dedicated car enthusiasts, offering an accessible and engaging outing for history lovers and the simply curious alike. Having already drawn 50,000 visitors through its doors, the exhibition has firmly established itself as one of the must-see cultural events on the Principality’s calendar this year.
“Monaco and the Automobile” runs until September 6, 2026, at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, open daily from 10am to 8pm, with late-night opening on Thursdays until 10pm.
