Seychelles Natural History Museum

Seychelles Natural History Museum, Natural history museum in Bel Air, Seychelles.

The Seychelles Natural History Museum displays specimens of animals, plants, and rocks found across the archipelago, with emphasis on species found nowhere else. The collections feature preserved marine creatures, birds, and other inhabitants alongside geological samples from various islands.

The sources do not record a founding date for the museum, so the 1964 date in the earlier text is unsupported. It occupies a simple two-storey building near Victoria's main post office on Mahé. A renovation in 2017 added interactive display elements to the botanical, zoological, geological and anthropological galleries.

The museum also holds items tracing the history of the Seychelles People's Militia, the Seychelles People's Liberation Army and the Seychelles People's Defence Forces, so a visit covers the country's military past alongside its natural collections. It sits beside the main post office in Victoria, on Mahé.

The museum sits beside Victoria's main post office on Mahé, in a simple two-storey building. A 2017 renovation added interactive display sections alongside the older cases, so allow time for both floors.

The upper floor holds items tracing the Seychelles People's Militia, the Seychelles People's Liberation Army and the Seychelles People's Defence Forces, a military sequence most visitors walk past on the way to the natural history cases. The building itself is a simple two-storey structure beside Victoria's main post office.
