The Frederik Hendrik Museum opened its doors in May 1999 and is named after the stadtholder of the United Provinces of The Netherlands who was in office from 1625 to 1647. It is located at Old Grand Port, which is considered a historical site bearing witness to the Dutch and French colonial settlements in Mauritius, on the coast of south east Mauritius. The very first inhabitants of Mauritius, the Dutch, settled here to colonise the island. The museum, surrounded by a luxuriant tropical garden, includes a visitors’ centre with an exhibition of artifacts found during archaeological excavations in the area since 1997 and the remains of some ruins. Reproduction of historical paintings and maps of the 17th century are also displayed in the complex. TIPS: - Open your eyes for the small signs on the road to reach this place - Take this opportunity to visit the village of Mahebourg (Review from Mauritius Explored)
