Located in Port-Louis, the new Intercontinental Slavery Museum takes visitors on a poignant journey through the history of slavery in Mauritius. The exhibits include 34 photos and 12 animated videos depicting the capture and deportation of slaves to Mauritius. The museum’s significance is heightened by its location in one of the island’s oldest buildings, constructed in 1740 by slaves. Open to the public since September 4, 2023, this museum serves as a vital testament to the resilience and contributions of those who endured the slave trade.<\/p>

Unveiled to the public in November 2001, the Blue Penny Museum houses some prestigious collections. This cultural gem curated by The Mauritius Commercial Bank is home to the iconic 1847 Blue Penny and Red Penny stamps. Acquired in 1993 for an astounding $2,000,000, these stamps, symbolic of Mauritius’ philatelic legacy, were brought back after nearly 150 years. To preserve these invaluable artifacts, the originals are only temporarily illuminated, with copies often on display for public admiration. Beyond stamps, the museum stands as a guardian of the original statue of Paul and Virginia, a poignant creation by Prosper d’\u00c9pinay in 1881. As you traverse through time within these walls, the Blue Penny Museum weaves a narrative that connects the past and present of Mauritius in a visually captivating manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
