On 14 March 2008 the Principality of Monaco celebrated its Sovereign Prince's 50th birthday, so a collective of Monegasque non-profit organisations along with the Grimaldi Forum decided to mark the event by paying tribute to Prince Albert II's humanitarian commitment through an exhibition of photographs chronicling the principle humanitarian aid projects that Monaco as a country has undertaken. Visitors to the exhibition can appreciate photographic works of diverse origins, illustrating Monaco's humanitarian activities throughout the world, in more than 48 countries.
These photographs come from a variety of sources, some belonging to the archive collections of humanitarian organisations based in Monaco and in the principle fields of action, others commissioned from leading international reporters working in countries where the Principality has been particularly active.
