EULAC_482 Musee Municipal Saint-John Perse "The museum is housed in a late 19th century building and is dedicated to diplomat and Nobel-prize-winning poet Alex Leger (pseud. Saint-John Perse). The ground floor is one main room which is a period room. This shows the style in which Leger grew up as a boy in the plantation houses of his parents. Besides the furniture a large collection of 19th and 20th century women\u2019s dresses (from slave clothing to upper class gowns) is on display. The second floor contains 20th and 21st century artworks, mainly by local or French-Caribbean artists. The top floor, an attic room, tells the story of the life and works of Alex Leger. Panels with photographs discuss his youth, his diplomatic life and his poetry (of course, crowned by the Nobel Prize). There are objects here from his personal life."
