Museum that traces its glorious existence, placed in the context of an era, that of the great expeditions in Albi.
It is so easy to imagine that as a child on the banks of the Tarn, Jean-François Galaup de Lapérouse was already dreaming of the trade winds. Honest man and brilliant sailor, this Albigensian spent his life delivered to the four winds, embarked on superb ships and subjected to the perils of his marine adventures. The Lapérouse Museum retraces his glorious life, placed in the context of an era of great expeditions. In addition to recounting his family life and his voyages, many objects found on the site of his fatal shipwreck in 1788, in Vanikoro, are on display.

Je me suis senti à la maison à lire l'histoire de ce grand navigateur scientifique et voir tous les objets trouvés dans les épaves et de retrouver l'art Mélanésien comme la pirogue de Walla.
Nous avons passé 2 heures agréables.
Une visite émouvante et passionnante. Je recommande.
Visiblement, elles sont au sein de ce musée. Quelle belle épopée au destin tragique. Comme la Boussole, mon coeur a chaviré.
A explorer la moitié de la planète, il a bravé vents et tempêtes avant d'y laisser sa vie au beau milieu du Pacifique.
En mémoire de ces siècles d'exploration maritime, le musée Lapérouse retrace avec justesse les expéditions marquantes du siècle des Lumières. Nous admirons ce navigateur humaniste, victime du passage des conquistadors vers les mers australes.
Alors n'attendez plus, hissez les voiles cap sur l'aventure !
