A
Musée Départemental
The centrally located Musée Départemental features a frighteningly large stuffed black caiman, as well as other preserved local critters, an ethnobotanical display, and an airconditioned 'butterfly room', easily missed because it is poorly marked.
The upstairs area recaptures life in the old penal colony and displays some Amerindian handicrafts.

Musée des Cultures Guyanaises
The Musée des Cultures Guyanaises devotes itself to Guiana's early history, from its geologic formation through pre-colonial, Amerindian times. It houses a relaxing, air-conditioned library (upstairs) with publications in French, English and various other languages.
