The Automobile Collection of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II is enjoying record attendance this summer, confirming once again that Monaco’s passion for exceptional cars remains undiminished…
More than 2,000 visitors a day are pouring through the doors of the Fontvieille museum, eager to discover an array of unique and historic vehicles that together tell a story of prestige, heritage, and innovation.
From grand classics to rare racing machines, the collection captivates enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Many are struck not only by the sheer number of cars on display, but also by the pristine condition in which they are kept. “They are magnificent, loaded with emotion, and clearly well preserved across generations,” remarked one visitor, while another admitted they were not a car enthusiast but still found the exhibition “impressive and unique.” For children and young fans, the museum offers a vivid journey through automotive history, from the earliest models to the latest modern icons.
This year’s summer highlight has been a special temporary exhibition featuring futuristic rover vehicles designed for space exploration. The striking contrast between these prototypes of tomorrow and the timeless elegance of vintage models underscores the breadth of the collection and its commitment to telling a global story of mobility and imagination.
Although the collection is open year-round, the temporary exhibition runs until September 2, offering a final opportunity for visitors to experience this extraordinary showcase. For Monaco, it is further proof that the Principality continues to shine as a capital of automotive passion.
