Grand Museum

The Oceanographic Museum in Monaco towers above the Mediterranean and the surrounding city.

 

The Oceanographic Museum was inaugurated in 1910 by Monaco's modernist reformer, Prince Albert I. This monumental architectural work of art has an impressive façade above the sea, towering over the sheer cliff face to a height of 85 meters. It took 11 years to build, using 100,000 tons of stone.
