Prince Albert II of Monaco’s great-great-grandfather, Prince Albert I, has been devotedly safeguarding the oceans for over a century. It is a globally renowned institution, showcasing more than 6,000 marine specimens.
The Museum’s architectural design, from ornamental details on the facades to interior decorations, beautifully captures the essence of the marine world.
