During your visit of the Princess Grace Irish Library, we offer a tour of the many literary and artistic treasures that adorn the shelves and walls. Amongst these treasures are the rare books and music sheets about Ireland that Princess Grace collected throughout her lifetime.
The paternal grandfather of the Princess, John Kelly was born in county Mayo in Ireland and emigrated to the USA in 1867 aged 20 years old, where he started his family.
Grace Kelly was born in 1929 in Philadelphia and married Prince Rainier III in 1956.
To finish off the tour we propose a documentary « Her Name was Grace Kelly » that takes viewers onto a voyage of the Princess’ life as a young girl, actress, wife, mother, and philanthropist.
Just drop in for a visit. For groups larger than 10 people, please reserve your visit in advance on info@pgil.mc
While the entry to the library and guided tours are free, we do welcome donations of any kind towards the charity Fondation Princesse Grace.
