Princess Grace Irish Library

The Princess Grace Irish Library is located in Monaco. Our purpose is to promote the literature, culture and heritage of Ireland in its beautiful and serene surroundings. We organise events and produce content for the enjoyment of all, including talks with Irish authors, screenwriters, historians, academics and personalities.

The former actress Grace Kelly had a close attachment to Ireland because her grandfather grew up in Ireland and emigrated from County Mayo to the USA in 1887. Her personal collection of Irish books and sheet music form the heart of the Library.
