The museum, also known as the Frank A. Perret museum, concentrates on the people and material traces of 1902. Visit before or after the theatre ruins and old streets: the collection turns those outdoor remains into more than scenic fragments. Its subject is difficult, so give yourself time to read rather than rushing through.
