The Princess Grace Irish Library was founded in 1984 by Prince Rainier III and the novelist Anthony Burgess in honour of Grace's Irish roots, around her own collection of Irish literature and Irish-American sheet music. It now holds more than nine thousand books, portraits of the princess by Jack Yeats and Louis le Brocquy among others, a children's corner, and a programme of lectures and symposia – Seamus Heaney has spoken here.
