RE: Explore the history of the slave trade and its deep impact on the history of Mauritius

Wow, this is such a profound idea, to create this museum in a house built by slaves. It is so sad how cruel the world was to people, individuals who had the right of freedom. I also didn't quite understand, how were these statues made? They were sculpted from real people? But that was quite a long time ago? Could you please explain?

Agree, this is building that is perfect for the museum. I read that the sculptures were made around 1830-40s and therefore I feel quite sure that these are real people. On the photos you will find there names. Where these sculptures are today, I fon't know. Everything inside was in French, I only understood few words.

Oh, unsolved mysteries... I'd love to read the stories of those names.

Definitely 😄
