It’s organized in an easy to follow manner. The fact that the museum is in a historical building itself is really thoughtful! I learnt a lot about Seychelles here.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the History Museum in Mahé, Seychelles, and it was an enlightening and enjoyable experience. The museum itself is a treasure trove of knowledge, beautifully showcasing the rich history and vibrant culture of the Seychelles. The exhibits are well-curated, offering fascinating insights into the island’s past, from its colonial history to its unique biodiversity. What truly made our visit exceptional was the kindness and expertise of Karl, one of the museum’s dedicated employees. Karl’s passion for the history of Seychelles was evident in every story he shared. His enthusiasm was contagious, making our tour both informative and engaging. He took the time to answer all our questions with patience and a smile, ensuring we had a memorable and enriching experience. Karl went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated. His thoughtful gestures and absolute kindness added a personal touch to our visit, making it an unforgettable experience. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the museum and its visitors, and his dedication shines through in everything he does. It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in learning more about this beautiful island nation. And if you’re lucky enough to meet Karl, you’re in for a treat—his knowledge and kindness will enhance your visit in the best possible way.
