Title A name given to the resource Musee Schoelcher Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Museums Language A language of the resource French Type The nature or genre of the resource Museum Description An account of the resource In 1883 Victor Schoelcher made a donation to Guadeloupe: his collection of statues and reliefs plus objects from his many voyages (wood work from Benin, pre-Columbian Caribbean axes and slave shackles). The museum was opened in 1887. The ground floor is dedicated to Schoelcher's idea for the museum, his donation of objects and his family life. The second floor is divided into his different voyages with objects from each place. It also contains many items related to slavery. The eclectic collection is tied to the reason for his voyages: his political struggle to end slavery in the French colonies. The objects are incredibly diverse. There are plaster casts of famous statues that were made at the Louvre on Schoelcher’s request, porcelain from his father’s factory and the travel collections.
