Both stamps are in display in the museum but they are lit only on the half hour for 10 minutes, first scheduled at 10:30 and last at 16:30.

Showcasing the postal history of Mauritius.

Locals come to this square to sit down and take a break. It's surrounded by colonial French buildings, but also some high-rises. There are statues of important figures in the island nation's history like Queen Victoria, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, first prime minister of the island, Sir Veerasamy Ringadoo, first president of the island and Emmanuel Anquetil, second president of the Mauritius Labor Party. It's quite busy during daytime, also because of the traffic on adjacent streets but it's peaceful in the evening which therefore is the best time to visit.

Opened in 2000, this is the country's main library. Here you can explore Mauritian literature.

Founded in 1880 with an exhibit on the extinct dodo, a library with more than 50000 volumes, and a lot of objects showing the history art and culture of the island. It was separated from the now-defunct Desjardins Museum museum founded in 1842 and as such the oldest museum in Mauritius and oldest in all Africa.
