Photographs, personal belongings, jewellery and accessories tell the heartfelt story of the woman behind the icon: a sensitive, brilliant, courageous and free-spirited figure.<\/p>\n<p>The immersive scenography, conceived as a soft, protective setting, recreates an intimate and poetic atmosphere. Velvet curtains, subdued lighting, carpeting that muffles footsteps \u2014 every detail contributes to making this exhibition a precious, contemplative moment. Unpublished portraits of various formats are displayed alongside cherished objects belonging to the Princess: sunglasses, gloves, hats, and of course, the iconic Herm\u00e8s Kelly bag. A floral tapestry inspired by her love of nature, accompanied by a delicate rose fragrance and birdsong soundscape, completes this environment imbued with softness and elegance.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition unfolds around four themes, reflecting the many facets of Grace: the young woman in her natural element, captured on the beaches of Jamaica; the elegant yet discreet woman in her daily life; the loving and attentive mother; and finally, the amateur photographer and filmmaker, keen to preserve memories and precious family moments.<\/p>\n<p>Far from being a chronological or exhaustive retrospective, \u201cGrace\u201d #1 is a sensitive, artistic exploration of an enduring figure, inviting visitors to step closer to the Princess\u2019s world while discovering life through her own lens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/palaisprinciermonaco.tickeasy.com\/en-GB\/home\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"eltdf-btn eltdf-btn-medium eltdf-btn-solid\"  >\n    <span class=\"eltdf-btn-text\">Buy your tickets<\/span>\n    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eltdf-icon-font-elegant\" ><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Opening hours<\/strong><br \/>\n5 July to 31 August: 10am \u2013 6pm<br \/>\n1 September to 14 September: 10 am \u2013 5 pm<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2971 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Affiche-Grace-1-scaled-e1751902514553.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From July 5 to September 14, 2025, the State Apartments of the Prince\u2019s Palace of Monaco will host the exhibition \u201cGrace\u201d #1, a sensitive and unprecedented invitation to rediscover the radiant and multifaceted personality of Princess Grace, born Grace Patricia [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-visit-princes-palace-of-monaco"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2973"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3010,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973\/revisions\/3010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
