From Legend to Legend: How Monaco’s Upcoming Retrospective Chronicles the Machines That Shaped Automotive History

The upcoming summer exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, titled "Monaco et l’Automobile, de 1893 à nos jours," is set to bring together a collection of historically significant machines that fundamentally altered the course of automotive history.

The curation spans several eras of motorsport excellence. It features the 1920s Bugattis that authored the foundational chapters of the Monaco Grand Prix, the Alfa Romeo 158 that dominated the nascent years of Formula 1, and the iconic Fiat Abarth rally cars. According to the organizers, these historic automotive references mirror the corporate heritage of event partner Groupe Segond Automobiles.

Organized with the cooperation of the Automobile Club de Monaco, the exhibition operates with institutional and corporate backing from CMB Monaco, Sotheby’s, Groupe Marzocco, Groupe Segond Automobiles, and Acqua Fiuggi.

The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 1 through September 6, 2026, with an exceptional closure on Saturday, August 22. The venue will welcome visitors daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with extended evening hours until 10 p.m. on Thursdays. Half-price advance tickets are available to the public through June 30.
