"We want this exhibition to recreate the incomparable world of Princess Grace and evoke the reasons the memory of her persists in all our minds," explains exhibition curator Frédéric Mitterrand. Covering 43,000 ft² at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, this unique exhibition immerses visitors in the memories of The Grace Kelly Years as if leafing through a photo album. Personal letters, private belongings, clothing, jewelry and fashion accessories, sound recordings, film excerpts, news reports and much more showcase Her remarkable life.

LE
SONGE BY LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO
A Jean-Christophe Maillot creation July
19-21, 2007 at 8.30 pm With the long-awaited re-staging of Le Songe byJean-Christophe Maillot, loosely based on William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo invite you to share an enchanting midsummer experience in Monaco during the month of July.
Come and meet this “crowd of characters, stirred into a noisy, burlesque and acrobatic round, indulging in joyous practical jokes, licentious mischief, bad manners and even frivolous eroticism…” (La Pensée Russe, January 2006). “Abandon yourself to the lead of the imps and elves who people the universe of the fantastic…” (E.G. Vaccarino), and savor the pleasure of listening to a story in dance, “a talent that has become a label for Jean-Christophe Maillot” (Le Monde, December 2006).

For
the first time, the Principality is staging an exhibition of international
scope in homage to Princess Grace of Monaco, to mark the 25th anniversary
of Her passing. In close collaboration with the Prince's Palace,
which has made available personal items not previously displayed
in public, this tribute retraces the various facets of Her life;
from Grace Kelly, Hollywood star, to Princess of Monaco, devoted
supporter of the Principality which adopted and loved her from the
moment she set foot there in 1956.
Monaco’s
Tourist and Convention Bureau invites visitors to “follow in
the footsteps” of the Princess via an elegant promenade that
highlights some of the most important dates and events in Her remarkable
life, including galas and openings. Crossing from east to west,
with 25 stops at landmark locations including the Cathedral where
She married Prince Rainier in the “Wedding of the Century”,
the route features commentaries in five languages - English, French,
Italian, German and Japanese.
This
dream-like creation is designed for lovers and dreamers, who enjoy
flirtingwith the improbable and tiptoeing along the brink of dreams…Jean-Christophe
Maillot gives free and gleeful reign to the three driving forces
of his imagination: theatre, music and dance.
