The visit
The tours
The museum unfolds in three stages: what algae are, the story of the men and women who harvested them, and what research is making of them today.
Algae
A form of life that appeared 3.5 billion years ago, at the origin of the oxygen we breathe and of plant life on land.
History
The work of the seaweed harvesters, the men and women who wrote a history here by working a natural resource.
Modernisation
From the mechanisation of the harvest to the discovery of phycocolloids: food, textile, medicine, cosmetics and agriculture.
