 * The Musée includes collections of various domains from natural history (French Guiana's fauna and flora), archaeology, and ethnology to local history. As other museums, the collections accumulated for more than 110 years reflect the favorite domains of all managers that have followed each other to head the institution. The profusion of objects in each rooms gives the museum its atmosphere of "Cabinet of curiosities".
