Honestly presented museum/memorial to Mauritius's indentured labourers. Helpful, clear bilingual explanations, preserved accommodation block and model recreations of Port Louise dock across the ages. Free entry.

Ein Ort der die Überreste eines Einwanderungsdepots für Vertragsarbeiter aus Indien, Madagaskar und Asien. Ein großer Schritt zur Abschaffung der Sklaverei.

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!

Edifici ben tenuti ristrutturati da poco. Visita semplice adatta anche a bambini. Poco pratica per i disabili per via delle barriere architettoniche obsolete. L’edificio risale a fine 1700 ha ha subito una forte riqualificazione.

Mauritius tarihi için önemli bir müze. Tarihsel süreçte burada bulunan şeker kamışı tarlalarında calismak icin Uzakdoğu, Hindistan ve Afrikadan hangi yollarla işçilerin ve ya daha doğru söyleyecek olursak kölelerin getirildiğini anlatıyor. Daha çok resimler ve dijital içeriklerle desteklenmiş bir müze. Giriş ücretsiz. Port Louise gelirseniz mutlaka uğramalısınız.

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

Lieu intéressant pour comprendre le système de l'engagement et l'origine de la population majoritairement indienne de l'île Maurice.
Commentaires en français. Mais parfois un peu limité en termes de collection d'objets et de documents (raison des 4 ????)

Feb24- Closes at 4. Former immigration depot for indentured labour from India, now home to an Interpretation Centre. FREE to see.
We arrived at 3.45! Inside museum shuts, outside open a little longer. We rushed round but saw it all!
Fascinating history. In awe of the slavery, indentured labour history.
Some of the history is repeated in sugar experience too, but you learn so much and the tools and exhibition is worth seeing.
Go see it. You literally walk in their shoes.
There's also a slavery museum next door!

Auf den ersten Blick etwas unscheinbar, aber historisch sehr interessant. Man sollte sich vorher informieren, um was es geht, sonst sieht man nur ein paar Mauern. Eintritt kostenlos

Everyone should experience this historic place in Port Louis. This place explains the systematic slavery of Indians under the guise of indentured slaves. They explain the journey and the life thereafter very beautifully. Well maintained and free of charge for visitors.

Kölelik ve şimdiki çalışma düzeni arasında bu müzeyi gezdikten sonra sağlam bir bağ kuruyorsunuz. Müze ücretsiz, gezdiğiniz yerin tarihini anlamak isterseniz buraya kesin uğrayın. Çocuk alanları da çok hoştu.

Lieu très intéressant à visiter et très instructif sur l'histoire des immigrants.
Je recommande cette visite qui n'est pas très longue (environ une heure) et situé dans le centre de Port-Louis, près de la station de bus pour ceux qui ne sont pas véhiculés comme moi.
