Franck Perret Museum
Volcanologist, Franck Perret opened this museum in 1933 on Rue Victor Hugo, Saint-Pierre.
Everything in here speaks of the 1902 Mount Pelee eruption with before and after representations.
Some of the artifacts include a partly melted bell once belonging to the Notre Dame Cathedral. If you
are interested in volcanoes, this is a place you will want to visit. The exhibits are all clearly described
and the guide is a worthwhile addition as he paints clear pre and post eruption pictures with his
knowledgeable description of events. Over 30,000 people died on that day and the town of St Pierre
was completely destroyed.
