This is a museum on the grounds of a working distillery (which cannot be visited). The first part, opened in 1990, focuses on the production of sugar and rum. There are photographs, but also a wooden sugar cane mill, a model ox cart and other objects. A second room, from 1992, contains a number of reconstructions, such as a traditional distillery, a sugar refinery and a cooper’s workshop. A wall panel shows machetes from around the world. In a small auditorium they show a 15 minute film. The museum continues upstairs. One room, opened in 1994, has a collection of insects and butterflies, donated by natural scientist Fortuné Chalumeau. Outside this room is an exhibit on trades and crafts, which was set up in 1997. Intermingled with these displays are large plastic creatures, from camels to polar bears. The last exhibit, also from 1997, shows models of the grand sailing vessels of the world.
