Nature History Museum and Mauritius Institute
Most tourists visit the Museum and Institute, on Chausee St, to see the stuffed replica of the dodo, the abnormal member of a group of pigeons, which become extinct. Between 1981 and 1989, the dodo exhibits underwent extensive repairs at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The most pristine exhibit was returned to the institute in Mauritius three years later. The dodo is the centrepiece, but there are stuffed representations of other extinct birds such as the Seychelles Dutch pigeon, the Bourbon crested starling, broad-billed and Mascarene parrots and the solitaire.
