Go behind the scenes at the Vodou Museum

Push open the doors usually closed to the public and discover the fascinating behind-the-scenes world of the Vodou Museum during an exceptional access to its reserves. Every Wednesday and Saturday, this self-guided tour invites you to explore a rarely accessible area, where objects not on display, undergoing inventory or restoration, are kept. It’s an immersive experience that allows you to take a different look at the collections and better understand the essential missions of a museum.

This unique tour plunges you into the challenges of heritage conservation and the technical constraints involved in preserving objects that are sometimes fragile, organic or sacred. The museum team offers a sensitive, contemporary approach to collections: how do you preserve the invisible? Can everything be displayed? Who do the works really belong to? This exceptional opportunity to explore the historical, ethical and ecological dimensions of today’s museum work.

This self-guided tour offers an intimate and unique experience, as close as possible to the objects and conservation spaces. To preserve the collections, no bags or cell phones are allowed, and the number of visitors may be limited depending on the number of visitors. This rare form of immersion allows visitors to discover what goes on behind the scenes in privileged conditions that respect the works on display.

Included in the museum entrance fee, this exceptional access to the reserves is a unique opportunity to discover another facet of the Vodou Museum. Let yourself be surprised by this unusual tour and explore the mysteries and questions surrounding the museum’s heritage collections.
