In Cayenne, the Franconi departmental museum, a small building in a Creole house, exhibits some diverse pieces that recreate the history of Guiana. Collections of traditional and American Indian objects sit next to stuffed animals and vestiges of the penal colony. In contrast, the Museum of Guianese Cultures, which is in an old house owned by a gold prospector, boasts a series of engraved objects from different ethnic groups.
