The museum building is in the classical style, constructed from rubble stone coated with render and painted. Above the second floor, the attic houses an exhibition room. The museum was inaugurated on July 21, 1887, and contains a collection of objects donated to Guadeloupe by Victor Schœlcher, the man responsible for drawing up the decree abolishing slavery on April 27, 1848. Most of the items on display, such as documents, medallions and sculptures, relate to the famous man’s efforts defend the oppressed. Outside is a bust of Schœlcher, created by Bogino in 1913.
