Musée Héritage
A small family-run private museum displaying fishing tools, old photographs, and objects from the bootlegging era.
The Musée Héritage was founded by a local family and is housed in an old house in the center of Saint-Pierre. Its exhibits include fishing equipment, old household items, uniforms, coins, and cases used to smuggle alcohol during Prohibition. The owner often gives talks about the islands’ history in French or English, creating a warm and personal atmosphere. The museum is small, a visit takes about 45 minutes, and admission costs a few euros. It is open mainly during the tourist season and pairs well with the L’Arche museum for an introduction to the islands’ history.
