On Tuesday 24 March 2026, Prince Albert II and his son, Hereditary Prince Jacques, jointly opened a commemorative exhibition at the Terrasses de Fontvieille.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Thirty years after its creation, the Monaco Museum of Stamps and Coins is celebrating its anniversary with a retrospective exhibition entitled \u2018From the Numismatic Museum to the Museum of Stamps and Coins<\/i>\u2019. Open to the public from 25 March to 26 April 2026 at the Terrasses de Fontvieille, it traces the history of an institution that preserves and showcases one of the Principality\u2019s richest philatelic and numismatic collections.<\/p>\n

Whilst the heritage aspect of the event is undeniable, it was the active presence of Hereditary Prince Jacques that captured everyone\u2019s attention. At the age of 11, the Sovereign\u2019s son took part in the entire tour with seriousness and attention, before signing the museum\u2019s guest book alongside his father. He also cancelled the \u2018First Day<\/i>\u2019 envelope, a philatelic item issued in a limited edition to mark this anniversary.<\/p>\n
