Seychelles National Museum of History
Step back into the days of the buccaneers at the Seychelles
National Museum of History, which features excellent displays of
historic artefacts relating to the cultural and natural history of
the islands. Exhibits include a range of interesting objects from
shipwreck salvage, coral, voodoo dolls and old household objects to
items that belonged to well-known pirates in days of old. Though
the museum is small, its single gallery offers a fascinating
glimpse into the culture and history of the Seychelles.

Money
The Seychelles currency is the Rupee (SCR), divided into 100
cents. The country's foreign exchange regulations require visitors
to pay for all services provided by hotels, guesthouses and
self-catering enterprises, as well as things like car hire,
entrance fees to parks and reserves, scuba diving and boat charter,
in major foreign currency notes (Euros are the most widely used) or
by credit card. Taxis and restaurant bills (not connected to
hotels) are payable in foreign or Seychelles Rupees. Rupees can
only be used in local shops, markets, and bars. Credit cards are
widely welcomed throughout the Seychelles. Money can be exchanged
at banks and the airport on Mahé, or at hotels, and banks process
travellers cheques. To change Rupees back into foreign currency on
departure requires the official receipt from the initial
transaction. ATMs are available at major banks on Mahé, Praslin and
La Digue.
