Museum presenting the three colonial periods of Mauritius, through a collection of objects, prints, lithographs, photos...

At the entrance of the city, at the end of a large park, this vast colonial residence, former property of the Robillard family, was built in 1771 and transformed into a museum in 1950. In separate rooms, the three colonial periods of Mauritius are presented through a collection of objects, prints, lithographs, antique furniture and photographs. There is nothing not to be seen, but you will be attracted by the old-fashioned atmosphere of the place and the charm of the house.

Building in a ruin.
Immediate repairs/renovation needed.
A danger for the visitors

Le site est en lui-même un musée mais les collections ne sont pas exceptionnelles
Visited in may 2024
The museum, housed in a beautiful but deteriorating building, serves as a poignant reminder of the sad history of colonization. Despite its exceptional architecture, the building unfortunately reflects the neglect that characterizes some aspects of our history. However, inside the museum, the history of colonization is presented thoughtfully and educationally, allowing visitors to gain a better understanding of the past. It's worth visiting this museum to gain a deeper insight into how colonization has shaped our world, despite the challenges it currently faces.
