Located in a lush green setting, the Banana Museum sits within the “Limbe” plantation, a banana estate in the town of Sainte-Marie. During your visit, you'll explore the history of the banana—from its introduction to the Caribbean during 16th-century colonization to its role today.
The museum showcases over 65 banana species out of the 300 recorded worldwide, spread across a scenic 4-hectare trail.
You’ll also discover fascinating insights into the world’s favorite fruit: its origins, cultivation techniques, culinary uses, and more.
On-site, the restaurant “La Bananeraie” invites you to enjoy inventive dishes where bananas take center stage.
Occasional exhibitions are also held, celebrating the banana in all its cultural and botanical richness.
