House of the oceans in Paris

« The edifice in which we are will gather the quintessence of the work developed by Oceanography which will hover […] in the midst of the growing flow of Science. And I entrust it to this city of Paris which taught me work, and whose mind and heart have so often directed the mind and heart of the whole of Humanity. »
HSH Albert I, Prince of Monaco
