Prince Albert II and Hereditary Prince Jacques of Monaco Mark 30 Years of the Musée des Timbres et des Monnaies

In the quartier of Fontvieille, Monaco, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II of Monaco and His Serene Highness Hereditary Prince Jacques of Monaco presided over the inauguration of a commemorative exhibition marking the 30th anniversary of the Musée des Timbres et des Monnaies.

The exhibition, titled Du Musée monétaire au Musée des Timbres et des Monnaies, invites visitors to explore the evolution, history, and heritage of the institution, which plays a central role in preserving the Principality of Monaco’s philatelic and numismatic collections.

It retraces the transformation of the former monetary museum into the present Musée des Timbres et des Monnaies, highlighting its development over the past three decades and its contribution to the cultural patrimony of the Principality.

Following the visit, the Sovereign Prince and the Hereditary Prince signed the official guest book before marking the occasion with the official “First Day” postmark on a commemorative envelope issued for the museum’s anniversary, a traditional philatelic gesture.

The event forms part of the Principality’s broader efforts to celebrate and preserve its cultural institutions, while reaffirming the longstanding interest of the Princely Family in Monaco’s historical and artistic heritage.
