The Exhibition of HSH The Prince of Monaco's Car Collection is an automobile museum in the La Condamine district of Monaco.[1]
The cars were the personal collection of Prince Rainier III of Monaco (1923–2005), and assembled over a thirty-year period.[1] [2] The collection contains almost one hundred classic cars made in Europe and the United States.[1] Notable cars in the collection include the Bugatti Type 35 driven by William Grover-Williams that won the inaugural Monaco Grand Prix in 1929,[3] and Sébastien Loeb's Citroën DS3 WRC, which he drove to victory in the 2013 Monte Carlo Rally.[4] 38 cars from the collection were put up for auction in 2012 due to Prince Albert II's desire to re-organise and expand the collection.[5]
The cars are displayed over five levels in a specially constructed space in the Terrasses de Fontvieille,[2] and the museum is open daily from 10am to 6pm, excluding Christmas Day and New Year's Day.[1]
