I agree with Ritesh, above, about the times. The museum is closed on Sundays and bank holidays. Allow at least an hour, as it takes time to read the captions to the exhibits and it's nice to have a few moments afterwards... More
I agree with Ritesh, above, about the times. The museum is closed on Sundays and bank holidays. Allow at least an hour, as it takes time to read the captions to the exhibits and it's nice to have a few moments afterwards just to reflect and relax in the garden, which once would have been crowded with newly arrived migrants preparing their food etc.
If you haven't already done so, do try to read up on the history of the Immigration Depot and the arrival of the indentured labourers in Mauritius - though you probably won't want to go as far as purchasing the 1875 report of the Royal Commissioners on the Treatment of Immigrants in Mauritius (1,000+ pages) as I did recently!
Be warned: a lot of construction work is going on in and around Port Louis for the new Metro Express tram system. Eventually*, it will make travel between PL and Curepipe a lot easier and pleasanter, but right now there are even more traffic jams and annoyances in the city than usual, so just allow some extra time for your journey, especially if you are coming in from the south. (* The first section is meant to open in Sep 2019.)
