Unique concept melting an historic museum, an art gallery and a beachwear shop...

This is a lovely place. The entrance fee of the museum is 2 euro. It gives you access to the area where history and modern art come together. There is an English text available of the history part of the exhibition. The modern art (mainly paintings) have explainations as well. Modern art is of high quality. The shop has nice things for sale. Go here instead of the many other artisan shops on the road to point chateaux. It is well worth it!!!

This is a very interesting museum and should be on your list of places to go on Grande Terre. There was no entry fee, just tickets to enter distributed by very friendly staff. We were also very interested by the gardens between the museum and the 'cliff' going down to the 'beach'. The gardener was a wealth of interesting information and could describe the health benefits of each and every plant - he was so knowledgeable! We had such fun talking with him. Find the steps down to a very pretty beach with cows/bulls tied up along the way!

I enjoyed this small yet integral and very educational museum about costumes and traditions of the island. This place makes you travel way back in time and trough different rooms/time periods it brings you to nowadays, wrapping up with a movie in the backyards. At the time of my visit few visitors were there so we've got a private tour by the curators. Thank you for this nice experience.

Great position, close to the cruise terminal, and visible from the sea. The museum is very modern, perfectly organized. It is not only about slavery and pain, it is also about history, local habits, art, plants and animals. Impressive and instructive.
