Castle museum retracing a philosophy of life practiced in the world, through pieces constituting a unique collection

The Musée Vodou is a disturbing invitation to discover a philosophy of life practiced by millions of people around the world. In a former water tower dating from 1883, over 1,000 items make up a collection unique in Europe: fetishes, amulets and masks used in ancestor worship, divination, witchcraft and other events linked to the major stages of life. Thematic tours with a guide or self-guided with an audiophone. The museum is suitable for all ages. Private tours are also available.

Un musée très intéressant permettant de se détacher des clichés et idées reçues que l’on peut avoir sur cette croyance. Le cadre de se musée est également surprenant avec une petite surprise au dernier étage.

Parada imprescindible si estás interesado en el tema o si tienes curiosidad. La encargada es amabilísima y habla español. Dispones de una audiguía online en español que puedes ir escuchando a medida que avances (te recomiendo que lleves auriculares para mo molestar a otros posibles visitantes). También dispones de guías fídicas en inglés y aleman para la exposición conmemorativa por los 10 años del museo y que estará al menos hasta enero del 2025. Todo está bien explicado y estructurado se explica en qué consiste el vudú, los países de donde proceden las piezas, siglo, uso, materiales, deidades, genios, ritos... Muy completo y comprensible. Tienes que tener cuidado con el horario ya que solo abren de 14h a 18h, por lo que te recomiendo llegar al menos 1h antes del cierre si quieres verlo con calma. Dispones también de algunos libros para comprar, lazos (que los visitantes suelen atar alrededor de la verja del museo) y algunos elementos rituales y de protección. También hay aseo.

Nice and interesting place.
Note that the items there are really specific (artifacts from Africa related to their local beliefs).
The notes next to the items were only in french. Speakers with audioguides in English were offered but most of the items didn't have an explenation there and the quality of the speakers were not good I got a headache from the noise afterwards. The staff were nice though.
