Exhibition on "The Palace Guards. Two Centuries of History. 1817-2017" in Monaco
From 13 June to 15 October 2017, the Prince's Palace is highlighting 200 years of the Company's history
On the occasion of celebrations for the bicentenary of the Palace Guards, the Prince's Palace is organising a temporary exhibition in its library and in two formal reception rooms of the State Apartments, highlighting the Company's two-hundred-year history.
Uniforms, archive documents, photographs, portraits and an audiovisual montage depict the various roles of the Palace Guards and their place in Royal ceremonies.
This exhibition is the result of collaboration between the Palace Guards, the Palace Archives Department and Palace Library, directed by Thomas Fouilleron, Monaco Audiovisual Archives and Cécile Degos, scenographer. It showcases the role of the Palace Guards in Monegasque life and history. The exhibition will be included on the tour circuit of visits to the Palace, and will be on display until 15 October 2017.
The Palace Guards were originally created as a police force on 8 December 1817, during the reign of Prince Honoré IV, by his son, who was the Administrator of the Principality and the future Honoré V.
