Musée Océanographique de Monaco
This mammoth oceanfront museum was founded by Albert I, great-grandfather of the present prince, in 1910. It’s now a living, breathing science lesson covering the world’s oceans by way of a Mediterranean aquarium, tropical tanks, and a shark reserve. A delight for budding marine scientists is the 18m-long (60-ft.) whale skeleton that washed up on a local beach a century ago. Equally as compelling are the scientific specimens brought up from the ocean depths over the past 100 years. In 2022, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene celebrated the 8th birthday of their twins Jacques and Gabriella with a party here themed on Mario and Kung Fu Panda. The restaurant and bar on the museum roof have brilliant views.
