Musée Stella Matutina, Industry museum in Saint-Leu, Réunion.
Stella Matutina Museum occupies a former sugar factory in Saint-Leu and displays the history of sugar production on the island. The building houses industrial machinery, equipment, and exhibition spaces that show how production methods developed over time.
The site operated as a working factory before being transformed into a museum dedicated to industrial heritage. A comprehensive renovation modernized the facility and deepened how the industrial past is presented to visitors.
The museum documents how people settled on Reunion Island and how their work shaped the region. The exhibits tell stories about farming, labor practices, and the communities that developed around sugar production.
The museum provides different spaces for various visitor interests, including a cinema and educational areas for learning more deeply. Multiple days of the week are available for visiting, making it easy to fit a trip into your schedule.
The machines and equipment displayed come directly from the factory that now houses the museum, offering a genuine view of production techniques. This original equipment helps visitors understand industrial work in a tangible way.
