The private collection of Antiques Cars of H.S.H Prince Rainier lll

A bit tricky to find, Head below street level and go towards a swimming pool in the marina .. I pre paid my ticket which cost 10 euros (Sept 2022 prices) adult , Made no difference as it s the same price on the door.. As soon as you enter you can see the immaculate car on show, From very oldies to F1 and Rally cars and cars actually driven by Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly. Look out for the "Fiat Jolly" with a very young Prince Albert , There`s little signs next to the cars telling you what they were in French and English..And watch the films next to some of the racing cars and they will tell you who drove them and what year they won in Monaco ,The place was very posh and the cars themselves were in great condition. I loved the F1 cars, There about 6 of them , one including 2019 Ferrari & A Mercedes at the rear. A excellent museum to visit. There is also a gift shop there..

Nice visit
Very enjoyable 1+ hour with two levels of cars. Very nice bathrooms on both levels. There is an elevator between them. Once you go into the gift shop, at the end, you can not re enter! The gift shop we found to be a bit pricey. Upon exiting the train station & exiting/arriving to “town”, take the underground passage near the artesian ice cream place & covered benches by the hop on/hop off bus stop (you will see the sign). Go towards “the port”(right), not towards “casino”. There you will see a place that looks to be it..no, it is private. With your back to it, there are steps to your right across the street by the port(maybe an elevator too). Go down & you will see it. TA map looked far but it is 5-10 min walk from train station. Very close. I thought the price was very fair@ 8€. They have videos playing over some of the cars to show you the role they had in the movies, famous people or the Monaco Grand Prix over Many years. Mostly signage in French, but a very fair amount amount in English & Italian

Fantastic car collection
We visited Monaco to walk the Formula 1 course and ended with a visit to this brilliant car museum. The air conditioned interior was perfect to cool down after a hot day walking around Monaco. The collection was pristine and kept in a beautifully presented museum. The history behind each of the cars was beautifully presented on touch screens in a variety of languages and the footage accompanying the exhibits brought the whole thing to life. We were especially happy to see so many Monaco Rally and F1 cars and had a really relaxed enjoyable time. Great gift shop reasonably priced at the end of the museum as well.
