Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology, Anthropology museum in Monaco.
The Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology displays fossils, tools, and artifacts from early human settlements in Monaco and neighboring regions.
Prince Albert I established the museum in 1902 to preserve archaeological findings from excavations in the Grimaldi Caves between 1895 and 1902.
The museum houses an Egyptian mummy named Merit from 300 BC, representing ancient funeral practices and preservation techniques.
The museum opens daily from 9am to 6pm, with admission at €7 for adults and free entry for children under 10 and Monaco residents.
A complete woolly mammoth skeleton from Siberia arrived at the museum in 2014, serving both research and exhibition purposes.
