Owner, Youssoufou is a passionate collector and gave a very detailed guide through the displays. Without any government support he relies on foot traffic to finance the museum.
Cost is 2000cfa for an adult.
He is looking to open a guest house in a very grand space upstairs but this is likely for mid 2020. Contact them first at [email protected] or 97134956.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Still closed. I believe it is permanently.
Apparently they are building a nee huge voodoo museum on the corner. But it doesn’t seem like it is going to finish any time soon.
Wanted to visit today but the place was closed down. Someone told me the owner died, another person that it’s closed for refurbishment 🤷🏻♀️
Report Check-InStill open, no restorations for the moment. Same prices : 2000 CFA/ pers.
Actually there are 3 sites along the street :
-muséum of Vaudoun
-museum Da Silva (slavery)
-panthéon black and White men
You can choose one or do the three
