To pay a tribute to him, the city of Pointe-à-Pitre dedicated this museum of colonial architecture to him. At first, the collection was composed of a good number of porcelains that came from his father's factory and personal objects. But it 1928, a large part of it was destroyed during the hurricane. Then, the museum was enriched with different documents on slavery and engravings from the 18th century.
