See tomorrow’s space rovers at Prince’s Collection

The Prince’s Palace is transforming its prestigious Car Collection into a portal to infinity, playing host to four futuristic rovers that redefine the boundaries between terrestrial motoring and space exploration.

Until 2 September, visitors to the Car Collection of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco can contemplate humanity’s future via four exceptional rover vehicles, the fruits of a joint venture between Venturi Space and Venturi Astrolab. The temporary exhibition transforms the showcase for prestigious cars into a space innovation laboratory, where each rover tells a story of interplanetary conquest.

The Flex astromobile, the jewel in the crown of the ephemeral collection, is preparing to set foot, or rather wheel, on the moon in 2027 via SpaceX. Shortlisted by NASA, this technological marvel features Monegasque innovations: hyper-deformable wheels designed in Switzerland and high-performance batteries developed in the Principality.
