Sculpture and Painting

Unlike in the Seychelles, the works of Mauritius artists are not widely displayed or available. There are plenty of 18th and 19th century prints of such scenes, but the originals must have gone back to France and Britain years ago. For contemporary paintings and sculpture, there is the Max Boulle Gallery at Rose Hill, and the Port Louis Art Gallery.
