This two-storey museum is housed in the Southern wing of the Prince’s Palace. It contains an extensive collection of artifacts relating to the Emperor Napoleon I, religious souvenirs from Saint Helena, as well as garments belonging to the King of Rome. It also houses an impressive array of exhibits relating to the History of the Principality. This includes the Charter of Independence signed by King Louis XII of France, Monegasque medals, and the Prince’s Guards uniforms. To gain an understanding of the history of Monaco, this museum is a must, and it is well worth getting the taped guided tour, which lasts from approximately 30 minutes.
