JARDIN EXOTIQUE
As the place that gives the neighbourhood its name, we have to mention the Jardin Exotique, even if the main attraction is closed and will not reopen until sometime next year.
Many of the succulent plants that fill the garden were originally brought in from Mexico in the 1860s and planted the Jardin Saint Martin. In 1912, Prince Albert I acquired the piece of land on which today’s gardens sit and Louis Notari, Monaco’s chief engineer at the time, transformed it. The original plants were moved there along with some additions from South America and Africa soon after.
The gardens were officially opened in 1933, and guided tours of a grotto that contained evidence of prehistoric inhabitants were added in 1950.
MUSEUM OF PREHISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY
It is in this part of Monaco that you will also find the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology, which was first founded in 1902 by Prince Albert I “in order to preserve the vestiges of primitive humankind exhumed from the soil of the Principality and the surrounding regions”.
The collections trace the steps of humanity in the glacial and interglacial periods dating back a million years ago. The museum carries out excavations and exhibits, and houses a fine collection of prehistoric artifacts.
