Clay figurines from 550 BC (the oldest discovered in the Antilles), Arawak-sculpted gemstones and shells and period photography are among the historical displays that bring the island's history to life at this small but absorbing museum, which spans the Arawak period (from 3250 BC) to European colonization and island fashion in the 1930s. Interpretative panels are in English and French.
