Musée Schœlcher, Historical museum in Pointe-à-Pitre, France.
The museum occupies a classical style building with stone walls covered in plaster, featuring an upper floor and an exhibition room in the attic.
Victor Schœlcher donated his collection of sculptures and artifacts to Guadeloupe's General Council in 1883, leading to the museum's inauguration on July 21, 1886.
The museum displays documents, medallions, and sculptures that demonstrate the fight against slavery, including a monumental bust of Schœlcher created by Bogino in 1913.
Located at 24 rue Peynier, the museum received official recognition as 'musée de France' in 2003 and underwent renovations in 2022, reopening under the name Musarth.
The collection includes archaeological findings such as slave shackles and an abolitionist medal, alongside paintings by Évremond de Bérard depicting Pointe-à-Pitre landscapes.
