A must (and free) visit while in Port Louis, if not Mauritius, this very informative museum and archeological site tells the story of the ancestors of 70% of the island's population, indentured labourers brought to the island primarily from India. Indeed, the English started the "experiment" of indentured servitude in earnest in Mauritius after abolishing the genocidal crime of slavery in the early 19th century. You'll learn this and much more here. I do wish that the museum shared more about the resistance by indentured labourers to the practice's many injustices and to their efforts to have the system abolished in the early 20th century. Still, the site is a very worthy visit. Don't forget to visit also the Museum on Transcontinental Slavery next door!

The Apravasi Ghat is of very much traditional importance to Mauritius. There is no fee for entry and there is free parking also. However, the place is only open till 4pm so plan accordingly. The place is renovated and provides a very good spectacle of the history of the island and its people. People are very friendly here. There is a Slavery museum and a post office museum also nearby here. A small booth for souvenirs is also available though I would personally recommend to buy souvenirs from the post office museum

Nice place to understand the history of mauritius, modern slavery, sugarcane production, how mauritius was exploited throughout 19th &20th century. You can see the place where the first boat landed here with labour. It's free to visit. Definitely worth visiting for people who are intrested in history.

A must visit for history lovers. No fees required it is free. A nice museum with videos and lots of information concerning our ancestors from which countries they came, the tools they were using and house they built at that time. You can find old photos of how life was on the sugar estates.

Very important part of Mauritian history. The museum explains how the British "Great Experiment" was planned and under which condition indentured labour force, mainly from India, was brought to the island. Well designed exhibition, interesting pictures and maps, a ship model and good descriptions; the visit is definitely worth it!
