MUSEUM OF PREHISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY
The little boy Prince Albert I settled his gaze not only at the sea but also on the Grimaldi Caves , which when he came of age , he exhorted teams to excavate . The collections enable visitors to trace the major steps in the evolution of humanity through the various glacial and interglacial periods . It teaches us that over a million years ago , the French Riviera was already a favoured habitat for our ancient ancestors . In 1960 , the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology moved from the Rocher to a new building in the middle of the Exotic Garden and fifty years later , in 2014 it had a rather extraordinary visitor . A Siberian mammoth in Monaco ! This exceptional woolly mammoth skeleton arrived to stay . Mammuthus primigenius ( 5 metres long , 3.30 metres high and 2.20 metres wide ) mounted on a metallic structure is conserved for scientific purposes and for exhibition . Excavated in Siberia , 1,000 kilometres east of the Lena River , several expeditions ( 1991 to 2003 ) were needed to collect its numerous skeletal remains from the permafrost . Archaeological sites in Monaco itself remain active today . Field work in sites like the Observatory Cave , digs and laboratory study continue in collaboration with international teams . The Museum hosts temporary exhibitions from time to time . Examples are : “ On the Trail of the First Artists : Draw Me a Bison ” and “ Conquering Fire ”, all the legacy of Prince Albert I ’ s curiosity .

The Grimaldi Man is the name given to the occupants of the Balzi Rossi caves , located in a place called Grimaldi , which is near the border town of Menton . Among the remains found there , there is a large Cro-Magnon man , as well
The double-burial known as “ Grimaldi man ” found close to Monaco , at Balzi Rossi , in Italy Двойное захоронение так называемых гримальдийцев из пещер Бальци Росси ( Италия )
as an adolescent male and an elderly woman who were both found in a two-person sepulture . The fossils are on display in the Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology . The Grimaldi Man comes from uniquely significant Grimaldi caves , millions of years old , not far from Monaco where over the 700-year period of the Grimaldi dynasty the Lords and Princes roamed and reigned . Such caves are in a place actually called Grimaldi near Menton and near Balzi Rossi in the area of Italy just adjacent to France . It is one of the most famous Palaeolithic sites in Europe , representing a relevant ‘ monument ’ of human history for experts on prehistory , giving clues to the dawn of mankind .

It now has a new look in a new location at Port Hercule , just a few yards from the iconic Formula 1 circuit .

Prince Albert II continued the family tradition and added a couple of dozen significant models to his father ’ s collection .
