Lonely Planet review for Musée du Panthéon National

The Musée du Panthéon National is a modern, mostly subterranean museum set in its own gardens. Its unusual design echoes the houses of Haiti’s original Taíno inhabitants, a motif repeated by the conical central ‘well’ bringing light to illuminate the gold monument recreating the cannons and banners found on the national flag. The bodies of Toussaint Louverture, Dessalines, Christophe and Pétion are inter­red below, and the names of further heroes of the independence struggle marked on the surrounding walls.

    Great little museum! Well worth the visit.

    guabayoda recommends this,

    I was here the week before the 2010 quake, and don't know if this museum is still in operation. Tells the history of Haiti, and has a lot of artifacts. I recommend a guided tour (mine was in English).
