Opened in 1910 by its founder Prince Albert 1st, this exceptional museum, is a masterpiece of monumental architecture overlooking the sea on top of a sheer drop of 85 meters.
It took eleven years of work to build and 100,000 tonnes of huge La Turbie stones which are naturally light brown but acquire a pale grey patina under the effect of the rain.
