- Victor Amadeus II, King of Sicily then of Sardinia

- the Grimaldis, Princes of Monaco, from Honoré II in the 17th century through Charles III, founder of Monte-Carlo, to Rainier III and Princess Grace.
To illustrate this ambitious undertaking, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco is collecting together some 700 sumptuous or moving exhibits that plunge visitors into the very heart of the lives, roles and passions of these individuals and couples who marked the histories of their dynasties and countries. The exhibition will thus focus on their eras but no less on their accomplishments in the fields of the arts, history and science.
Portraits, sculptures, objets d’art, furniture, porcelain, silver and gold, costumes and jewellery will breathe new life into four centuries of history for a rich and unique experience. Historical films, both documentaries and fiction, complete this masterful exhibition bringing back to life these great figures who have often fired our dreams.

Vi har spurgt Widar Halén om hans rolle i forbindelse med utstillingen i Monaco:
“Jeg er kurator og ansvarlig for den norske representasjonen med fokus på Haakon og Maud og det nye norske kongedømmet:
Vi viser kroningskjolen og kroningsuniform, samt kopier av kronene og kronregaliene og er eneste som viser slikt kroningsutstyr, dernest to av Mauds fineste kjoler og en Hardangerbunad.
