This summer, Monaco’s renowned Collection des Automobiles de S.A.S. le Prince invites visitors on a fascinating journey through automotive history with its new temporary exhibition, D’hier à aujourd’hui – From Yesterday to Today. Running from 22 June to 13 September 2026, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to discover how some of the world’s most legendary vehicles have evolved over the decades while preserving the DNA that made them icons.
Presented on the mezzanine level of the museum, the exhibition features eight exceptional pairings of classic and contemporary models from the same manufacturers. Among the highlights are the legendary Ferrari F40 displayed alongside the futuristic Ferrari F80, the ultra-rare Mercedes CLK GTR paired with the revolutionary Mercedes-AMG Project ONE, and the iconic Bugatti EB110 showcased next to the breathtaking Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport.
Visitors will also encounter a Ferrari 275 GTB and Ferrari 812 Competizione, the celebrated Ford GT40 and modern Ford GT, as well as the Renault Maxi 5 Turbo alongside the innovative Renault 5 Turbo 3E. The exhibition continues with the timeless Alpine A110 paired with the Alpine A110 R Ultime Le Mans edition, while an exclusive Porsche duo completes the remarkable collection.
More than a visual display, the exhibition illustrates the dramatic advances in engineering, performance, materials, and design that have shaped the automotive industry over the past half-century. At the same time, it highlights how leading manufacturers have successfully maintained the spirit and identity of their most celebrated creations.
Located at Port Hercule, next to the Rainier III Nautical Stadium, the Collection des Automobiles de S.A.S. le Prince houses over 100 historic vehicles assembled by Prince Rainier III and expanded by Prince Albert II. Today, it remains one of Monaco’s most captivating attractions for automobile enthusiasts and visitors alike.
