    Mauritians or foreigners this is a place worth visiting. A unesco preserved heritage, this place is well structured with tour guides who will make you travel through the history of our ancestors. The facility is quite new and modern looking, every possible precaution is taken to preserve the place.

    Sehr interessante und gut gemachte Ausstellung über den Beginn der Immigration auf Mauritius. Empfehlenswert.

    For the first time ever, I have the feeling of how was the life of the immigrants from India. The named doesn't really speak to me but the place does. The amount of information recalling the events of that time is pretty impressing. Place is quite luxury in my opinion and well equipped in terms of technological devices (touch screens) for both adults and kids. Staff is very friendly and entrance is free. I completely recommend.

    Man braucht schon viel Fantasie, um sich vorzustellen, dass hier Tausende von indischen Vertragsarbeitern erstmals ihre neue Heimat betraten. Besser liest man Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézios Roman "Ein Ort fernab der Welt", um einen authentischen Eindruck zu bekommen, was es bedeutet hat, seine Heimat zu verlassen, weil man sich in der Fremde ein besseres Leben erhoffte.

    Die Erstaufnahmestation der indischen Arbeiter zählt heute zum Weltkulturerbe. Dies ist leider Samstagnachmittag geschlossen.
