Écomusée de Martinique

The museum occupies a former distillery building near Anse Figuier beach, displaying collections of terracotta, traditional costumes, and agricultural instruments from Martinique.

Founded in 1993 on archaeological remains, the museum received official recognition as 'musée de France' in 2003 and preserves artifacts from prehistoric Arawak settlements.

The second floor features a complete reconstruction of a 1950s Creole house interior, demonstrating traditional furniture arrangements and daily life objects.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and modified schedules on weekends.

Archaeological excavations at the museum site uncovered significant Saladoid period artifacts, enriching the prehistoric collection with local indigenous materials.
