    Musarth - former Schoelcher Museum

    After a long period of renovation, the Pointe-à-Pitre Departmental Museum of Art and History (Musarth) has reopened its doors! Contemplating the past with the discovery of collections donated by Victor Shoelcher between 1885 and 1889, but also discovering all forms of modern art with a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions and educational activities, Musarth is a true cultural and architectural success.

    Mémorial ACTe called MACTE

    A true cultural institution dedicated to the history, heritage and memory of the slave trade, the Mémorial ACTe known as the MACTE was inaugurated in May 2015. The MACTe is considered the most ambitious place of remembrance dedicated to slavery, bringing to life an intangible heritage. Named one of the best destinations of 2015 at the Seatrade Cruise Awards, a visit to the MACTe means discovering slavery from antiquity to the present day through the discovery of the 5 islands that make up the archipelago.
