We are happy to announce that you can purchase a beautiful commemorative stamp to mark the 40th anniversary of the Princess Grace Irish Library from 4th September 2024 (available at the Office des Timbres de Monaco & post offices in the Principality of Monaco).
"Princess Grace and Her Irish Library: The Remarkable Story of Prince Rainier III’s Tribute to His Wife"
Join us for this special cross-Atlantic discussion, with Dr. Alexander L. Ames, Director of Outreach & Engagement at the Rosenbach Museum & Library, in conversation with the Director and a Trustee of the Princess Grace Irish Library to learn more about Princess Grace, the origins of the library, the work of the library today, and how Princess Grace’s legacy lives on in Philadelphia, Monaco, and Mayo, Ireland.
Enjoy a visit to the Princess Grace Irish Library, a cultural treasure of Monaco, which houses Princess Grace’s personal collection of music sheets and books, which were originally in her office at the palace. Discover Princess Grace's Irish roots and her attachment to County Mayo, the birthplace of her grandfather John B. Kelly in 1847. Discover four decades of the Library continuing her legacy to promote Irish literature and heritage in Monaco, since its inauguration in 1984, two years after the Princess' untimely death in 1982.
Drop in anytime. If you wish to join a guided visit, please check the allocated times and make a reservation by email : info@pgil.mc
