The Jewels of Sovereigns Since 1780, at Grimaldi Forum. Presale tickets at €6 until 30 June 2018.
From July 12 to August 28, 2019, Chaumet will present at the Grimaldi Forum an exhibition devoted to the art of the diadem, this cult jewel, a symbol of power and sovereignty that has become the symbol of the sublimation of femininity.
Diadème de la princesse de Bourbon-Parme – Joseph CHAUMET (1852-1928) – 1919 – Platine et diamants – H. 7 ; L. 18 cm – Paris, collection Chaumet, MUS 124
Placed under the high patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, this event will highlight outstanding women, empresses, queens and princesses of the European courts, as well as the jewels created for them by Chaumet for 240 years.
The curation was placed under the responsibility of Stéphane Bern, a media personality, journalist and writer, along with Christophe Vachaudez, a jewel historian, both specialists in the Royal Courts.
Separated into six major themes, the exhibition will take you on a journey into the heart of the creation and symbolism of head jewellery. Based around Chaumet’s rich heritage collections, but also on the generous participation of prestigious museums, great European families and many private collections, this unique exhibition will be a hymn to the splendor of Parisian jewellery from the 18th century to the present day.

Prince Albert travelled to Sicily from October 9 to 11 for an environmental visit that also celebrated Monaco’s historic links.
At the University of Palermo, the Prince received the insignia of Doctor Honoris Causa in Marine Ecology, a distinction recognising his initiatives for the preservation of the environment and the oceans through his foundation.
On the first evening, the Prince attended the gala of the Italian branch of the Prince Albert II Foundation, which took place at Palazzo Mazzarino. Prince Albert also visited several cities related to the history of the Grimaldi Dynasty, many of which are of Génoise origin.
