Located in the heart of Port Louis, the vibrant capital of Mauritius, the Natural History Museum is the oldest museum in the country and one of the oldest in Southern Africa. Founded in 1842, it is housed in a historic building constructed between 1880 and 1884, right across from the Jardin de la Compagnie. This iconic museum offers visitors a fascinating dive into the rich biodiversity of the Mascarene Islands, showcasing emblematic species such as the dodo and a diverse collection of marine life.
