Museum featuring an exhibition linked to the work of archaeologist Edgar Clerc, with a collection of ceramics, tools and books.

The exhibition allows you to discover the work of the archeologist Edgar Clerc on the sites of Grande-Terre such as Morel and the exceptional discoveries which have been revealed. It shows how its pioneering work has redefined the Amerindian chronology in Guadeloupe and addressed some aspects of the daily life of the Amerindians during the first pre-Columbian periods (200 BC - 800 A.D. ). Through collections of ceramics, shell or stone tools, but also significant works, visitors discover the history of the Amerindians, the first occupants of the Lesser Antilles. A reconstruction of an Amerindian village in model is also presented. The lush museum park offers the visitor an amerindian garden made up of impressive tropical trees (grenadiers, tamarinds, calabashes or cassava) and medicinal plants. The museum is regularly enriched with new pieces thanks to discoveries made during archeological excavations.

L'un des lieux les plus incontournables de la Guadeloupe lorsque l'on veut remonter le cours du temps bien avant la colonisation européenne. Un musée gratuit (vous avez bien lu) aux ressources bluffantes sur les civilisations pré-colombiennes qui ont vécu dans l'archipel. Souvent oublié de l'histoire et résumé aux fameuses Roches Gravées de Trois-Rivières, on y apprend énormément de choses sur leur mode de vie de l'époque. Génial !

L'entrée du musée est gratuite pendant la durée des travaux de rénovation. La collection permanente est riche de nombreux objets fabriqués par les premiers habitants de l'île. On peut admirer des bijoux, des haches polies, mais aussi de magnifiques poteries décorées. Une maquette splendide est exposée qui permet de mieux comprendre le mode de vie de ses populations. C'est un musée instructif qui vaut le coup d’œil.

Allée du jardin qui mène au musée imposante, très classe et très fleurie. Musée intéressant mais pas pour les tout petits car il faut lire les panneaux un minimum. Accueil agréable. Faire le détour si vous avez un peu de temps.

The quality of the items and detailed information allow you to better understanding the first inhabitants of Guadeloupe. A duration film 30 ' evokes recent archaeological digs and completes the curiosity of the visitor. The place is fascinating, the welcome is warm, the museum Edgar Clerc is well worth a visit.
