This museum, housed in the former Beau Plan sugar factory, is a must for learning about the history of the island and sugarcane. The fascinating tour, both fun and pedagogical, focuses on six themes: the birth of the island; sugar throughout the ages; the history of Mauritius (by far the most thorough display on the island); making sugar; the sugarcane pavilion (everything there is to know about the plant); the sugar routes (economic exchanges throughout history and the world).
