Postal Museum

About

Choose Postal Museum for local business in Mauritius, set at RGR2+2M3 on the Port Louis Waterfront along Trunk Road. The museum occupies a spot in the capital's waterfront area, where the harbour front meets the city centre.

The Postal Museum covers the story of the island's mail service, and its parent organisation maintains a page at http://www.mauritiuspost.mu/postal-museum. Four photos accompany the listing. A 4.2 out of 5 average from 317 reviews places it among the more visited small museums in Port Louis.

First-time visitors should expect a compact exhibition rather than a large national institution, with displays that can be covered in a short visit. Opening hours run 09:30-16:30 from Monday to Friday and 09:30-15:30 on Saturday.

Buses are the main public transport in Mauritius, and traffic drives on the left, so the waterfront is reachable from Grand Baie, Flic en Flac and Belle Mare without a car. Mauritius was a Dutch, then French, then British colony, and became independent in 1968, with Rodrigues part of the same republic. Creole cooking on both islands uses rice, seafood, tomato rougaille and hot chilli paste, and Sega music and dance, led by the ravanne drum, are traditional on both Mauritius and Rodrigues.
