Prinsens Bilsamling – Superbilmuseet

Prince Ranier III of Monaco was a huge a car enthusiast. He began acquiring his collection of vintage cars at the end of the 1950’s. The collection grew over the years and acquisitions. Over time, he began collecting many world-famous rare cars, race cars, and supercars — many of which are the most iconic in the world, and have an illustrious history. Very rapidly, the Prince’s Palace garage proved to be too small to house his collection, which had grown to over 100 exotic and vintage cars.

In 1993, Prince Ranier III decided to open his rare and supercar collection to the public. The royal family built a museum (which was originally in Fontvieille) featuring nearly 100 cars to house their collection of vintage, racing and luxury super cars. In 2022, a fresh, new (and much more modern) museum space was built underground in Port Hercule, and the collection was moved.

In this 3,500 m² immersive exhibition, which is unique in the world, you can view the collection of over 100 exotic vintage and racing cars owned by the Princes of Monaco. As well as giant screens which broadcast films, touchscreens also allow visitors to more actively engage with the cars. Not only is it possible to discover the characteristics of the cars, it is also possible to digitally visit the interiors of some of these historic vehicles.

Från Formel 1-bilar som klamrar sig fast vid museets väggar, till mer personliga föremål, inklusive de där Princely familjebröllop ägde rum... för bilfans både inom och utanför Monacos gränser, det finns något för alla. Museet rymmer många mycket speciella och kända bilar med miljontals fans från hela världen. Även utställda är racerbilar som har tävlat i Rallye de Monte-Carlo och den Monaco F1 Grand Prix. Enkelt uttryckt är det den mest episka bilsamlingen i världen.

• “I’m not really into cars but I found this collection of antique cars really interesting. They span a couple of centuries and are very varied. I’m not sure who needs 5 Rolls Royce’s but it was interesting to see the various types. You get reduced price entry if you have a ticket for the hop-on-hop-off bus tour.”
• “This is definitely worth a trip even for those non petrol heads. There is a huge number and range of cars from very early to F1 cars and some very beautiful early super cars.”
• “Fantastisk samling av bilar. Härligt att se sig omkring och beundra klassikerna, sportbilarna och vagnarna. Det var som en resa genom tiden. Bilarna är oklanderligt hållna och omhändertagna.”
