This museum is located in an old colonial mansion, just outside the centre of the city, that used to belong to the Robillard family. This building was once used as a hospital after the Battle of Vieux Grand Port. It now contains some fascinating collections pertaining to the history of the country and the area, including early renderings of local fauna and flora, and a replica of one of Napoleon's boats.
