Having read through the exhibition catalog by Frederic Mitterrand, which is excellent and well worth buying I might add. I thought it would be nice to hear a few words from Princess Grace herself:

" I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others."

"My father had a very simple view of life: you don't get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty. My father also had a deep charm, the gift of winning our trust. He was the kind of man with whom many people dream of spending an evening."

"It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother."

"Fairy tales tell imaginary stories. Me, I'm a living person. I exist. If the story of my life as a real woman were to be told one day, people would at last discover the real being that I am."

May she rest in peace!

Some of those I've already read somewhere, but some are quite new, it's so nice to read something said by

"Fairy tales tell imaginary stories. Me, I'm a living person. I exist. If the story of my life as a real woman were to be told one day, people would at last discover the real being that I am."

May she rest in peace!

You had great thought, hibou! A big thanks for sharing it with us!

And that dear hibou is the stuff that ideals are made of. Thanks for remembering this great lady as HSH Princess Grace herself would have wanted to be remembered , not through interpretation but so beautifully succinctly and correct from a direct quotation.
Deo Juvante

This is welcome news. I note on the site that its free admission too.

When the exhibition opened in Monaco last year there was mention that it would travel to Paris & London, so hopefully it will get to the UK eventually! I was lucky to be able to visit it last year & agree it was pretty memorable.

Woohooow so many questions.... I will try to answer them.
Monaco is just wonderfull, magical, when we arrived there it felt like comming home, I felt at pease there. We visted the Palace, it was so strange to walk in the rooms and hallways where once my beloved Princess walked. The Palace is amazing! We visited the Cathedral, where the Grimaldi's are buried, standing at HSH Princess Grace her grave made me cry, it was so intens and so emotional. I really feld close to her! The people of Monaco are amazing, very friendly!!! There is so much to see and to do, we could not see it all. The exhibition was so beautiful, her clothes, her shoes, her diamonds and pearls, her furs, her portraits, all those wonderful portairs. The letters she wrote and got (from Queen Elizabeth, Jackie O., Princess Diana etc etc) and of course her weddingdress... O MY GOD... Amazing! Even loveletters to and from Prince Rainier, toys from when the children were little, I could go on and on! You reallyfelt like you had been given the chance to have a look inside Princess Grace her life, I felt privileged. After my visit I wrote a letter to Prince Albert thanking him and his sisters for the chance to see all those wonderfull and special items, that once belonged to a Princess I loved and love so dearly! There are amazing shops in Monaco!!!
And at the Grimaldi Forum I shopped till I dropped, I brought home with me some great portaits (among other things). I hope this answers some of the questions, if not, feel free to ask!

Thank you for welcoming me GlitteringTiaras

It's great to be able to read about all my favourite Royals

Hope to find more threads about Princess Grace.

The exhibition that pays tribute to HSH Princess Grace is going on tour.
This is an email I recived from The Consulate of Monaco in New York:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email. I apologize for the delayed response. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the exhibition in Monaco last year. Please find below all the information we received regarding the “Grace Kelly Years” Exhibition at the Paris City Hall.

The “Grace Kelly Years” Exhibition at the Paris City Hall:

Following its success in the Principality last summer (with a record 135 000 admissions), “The Grace Kelly Years” is now on display at the Paris City Hall. The exhibition was opened on Tuesday 10th June in the presence of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë and various key figures.

The exhibition paying tribute to Princess Grace is being held in the Salle Saint Jean at the Paris City Hall, over a surface area of 700 m2 compared to 4 000 m2 when it was originally set up in the Principality. Fewer items therefore, but the exhibition’s approach relating her life, has been preserved. The magic has remained intact and
the Parisian public will be able to discover her correspondence with her friends in Hollywood and some of the great names of the world, her personal belongings, her wardrobe, her jewellery and accessories such as the famous Hermès bag. They will also be able to see extracts of her main films and family films shot by the Princess herself. The exhibition, whose curator is Frédéric Mitterrand, will stay in Paris until 16th August when at the end of 2008 it will leave for Moscow, followed by Doa in Qatar at the beginning of 2009, and then later Rome, London and Melbourne.

Practical Information:

"The Grace Kelly Years : Princess of Monaco"
Salle Saint-Jean at the Paris City Hall
5, rue Lobau, 75004 Paris
from 10th June to 16th August 2008
Open every day except Sundays and bank holidays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (doors close at 6.15 p.m.)
Free admission for all

I hope this information is helpful to you.
