The exhibition traces the story of Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly (1929–1982), from her Hollywood days to becoming Princess of Monaco. An important style icon of the 20th century, Grace Kelly embodied the myths of power and timelessness which explains the continuing interest and fascination people have of her.
