Musée Edgar-Clerc, Archaeological museum in Le Moule, Guadeloupe.
The Edgar-Clerc Museum displays artifacts from pre-Columbian civilizations, including pottery, ritual objects, jewelry, and polished stone tools discovered throughout Guadeloupe.
The museum opened its doors in 1984 after Edgar Clerc donated his archaeological collections to the department in 1977 to establish an institution dedicated to local pre-Columbian cultures.
The museum exhibits detail the daily life of indigenous peoples, exploring their burial practices, habitats, agriculture, navigation methods, and symbolic universe of mythical animals.
Located at 440 Route de la Rosette, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with wheelchair accessibility and free admission.
The facility encompasses three hectares of landscaped grounds featuring indigenous plants used historically for food, medicine, crafts, and ceremonial purposes.
