The Princess of Monaco Remembered Grace Kelly was a woman of class and dignity. She won the hearts of the people of Monaco relatively quickly after getting married there. She is buried in Monaco after having a stroke and crashing her car in 1982 at the age of 52. Her family has lived in a palace in Monaco with an amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea, though they will never be the same after their devastating loss. As the former Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly lives on through the memories of her in her movies, her sense of style and elegance, and her family that she and Prince Rainier raised in Monaco. The two exhibits honor Grace Kelly 25 years after her death. The exhibitions both celebrate her life and everything she was able to accomplish.
