Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I was excited at the prospect of visiting this Blue Penny Museum I had never heard of this stamp certainly the Black Penny Stamp is most notorious with the best portrait of Queen Victoria printed in 1840. I was surprised to see the 1848 Mauritian Penny Blue Stamp with Queen Victoria which is in fact twopence and known as the Penny Blue valued at circa 2 million, with the penny stamp in orange /red. The remainder of the upstairs floor is dedicated to the geographical evolution of Mauritius, it's naval battles, ships, navigation encompassing many ancient maps, paintings and other artefacts. The ground floor is entirely dedicated to the delightful mythical tale of Paul and Virginie written by Jaques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre in which he recounts the beautiful story of these young Mauritian children growing up a most moving story indeed no intention of a spoiler a must read. This book can no longer be bought in Mauritius it is still studied at school there, a true literary masterpiece. The major surprise was the wonderful white marble statue by Prosper d'Epinay which adorns the centre of the ground floor and depicts these young lovers a gift returned to Mauritius. This statue was bought at Southeby on 20 November 1997 for £177,500 lot 143.I loved the arrangement of all the various paintings illustrating various scenes of this romantic tale in fact two rooms are dedicated to this most enchanting love story. Further point of interest were the various artefacts and memorabilia created around the Paul and Virginie romance such as plates, jigsaw puzzles, cards, books items to treasure.

In addition to getting to know the history and types of collectible stamps, you can also buy yourself a set with a special cancellation - as a souvenir of your visit to the island - which is definitely better than boring plastic magnets - which I was pleased with)

During our holidays in Mauritius we also visited Port Louis, especially because of the Blue Penny (Blue Mauritius). A small stamp with a high value. The Lakeside district is very well maintained and also safe. There are several shops and restaurants to visit.

I really enjoyed this museum a lot, just a shame they do not sell a book with this carefully curated information. I really enjoyed it and would have loved to read more about it afterwards and look at the lovely ships again and read about the amazing bravery of our ship faring forefathers.
It is also the home of 2 of the most expensive stamps in the world. $2,2 million. A consortium bought it in 1993 and brought it back to Mauritius after almost 150 years abroad. The famous 1847 Blue Penny and Red Penny stamps.
They also showcase the story of Paul and Virginie beautifully. This is the Mauritian version, one can say, of Romeo and Juliet.

The museum is located on the pier, right next to the Caudan Waterfront shopping center. Spread over two floors, the collections tell, upstairs, the history of Mauritius.
From its discovery by the Dutch, through its colonization by the French and then its acquisition by the British, we learn more about the eventful history of the island.
Several themes are addressed via old maps, the philatelic history of the island [don't miss the two original uncanceled stamps which are illuminated alternately for 10 minutes once an hour with a copy]. A real treasure is on display right before your eyes. A slightly more historical part strictly speaking with the French possession then the return of it to the British (who thought that the owner of it would control the route to India).
On the ground floor, an exhibition dedicated to Paul and Virginie, based on the work of Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. Excerpts from works, paintings, engravings and other objects linked to this tragic story are on display. The exhibition ends with the boutique section.
A nice visit whose entry remains a little expensive. Friendly, smiling staff. They did not fail to warn visitors that the real stamps were illuminated. Unfortunately, photography and filming is prohibited in the museum.

This is a delightful, very well presented , modern museum in the Caudan Waterfront area. Start with the upper floor first. There you will find an excellent historical overview of Mauritius and Port Louis. The highlight of this floor is an original, uncancelled, example of the Blue Penny stamp issued by Mauritius. The stamp is only visible for a few minutes each hour, so when they say "Go take a Look", listen and view this little treasure. The history of the posts in Mauritius alone is well worth the price of admission.
There is also a terrific, very well curated gift shop. Don't bother looking elsewhere for tasteful cards, beautiful books, hand made gifts, even nice T-shirts and polos. Even the post cards could be framed!
This is also a quiet, cool, respite from the waterfront. BTW, spotless restrooms.

Well... The blue Mauritius, which gives the museum its name, is illuminated for 10 minutes once every hour and shown. Somehow the original looked no different to the replica. It even looked like a photograph. That's why I wouldn't go there again. The rest of the museum is definitely worth seeing though. Old engravings and pictures of today's Mauritius are shown here, always in the same place. Nicely done!
