The museum – a 100 years old this year
The SPUP Museum is a historical landmark
Is a symbol of historical past significantly important? Yes, it is especially since we are referring to the place that has fitting records of years of struggle that has brought about equal justice, peace, liberty and fraternity in small Seychelles.
Our past colonial education system did not teach us that any society can create its own histories. Seychelles learnt it the hard way. Based on its own revolution, inspiration and hard work, it has designed it own history. It is all showcased in the SPUP Museum found in the old building situated on the Francis Rachel Street in Victoria.
It is a sentinel of inspiration for today’s youth and the generations to come. The events of 1964 to 1977 speak for themselves in this museum. It bears testimony to the long and hard struggle of the SPUP to eradicate the conditions of bad welfare in Seychelles then.
On June 2nd 1984, after 20, difficult years of political ‘struggle’, President France Albert René officially opened the SPUP Museum. The Museum claimed that it would present for the first time the history of the political Party – its birth, its struggle and their achievements.
