The Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology

The Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology (Musée d’Anthropologie préhistorique) was founded by  Prince Albert I in 1902, “to preserve the vestiges of primitive humans exhumed from the ground in the Principality and neighbouring regions.” It was established in the Exotic Garden by Prince Rainier III in 1959. This new building was designed by the Monegasque architect Louis Rué.
