Visit Mémorial de la catastrophe de 1902 (Musée Frank A. Perret), Saint-Pierre, Martinique
The Franck-A.-Perret Museum is a museum located in Saint-Pierre, Martinique, at the top of rue Victor-Hugo, on the site of a battery of cannons which defended the bay of Saint-Pierre, the "little Paris of the Antilles”, then the economic and cultural capital of Martinique.
This was created in 1933, by Frank Alvord Perret, a self-taught volcanologist, engineer by training, of American origin. Staying in Saint-Pierre between 1929 and 1942, he contributed, in addition to his research activity, to the reappropriation of the city by participating in the work to clear the city buried by the eruptive deposits of 1902.
The new museum opened its doors on May 8, 2019 in Saint-Pierre after a complete renovation.
