Introduction

The Museum of Decorative Arts of the Indian Ocean (MADOI) is in Saint-Louis in southern Reunion, housed within a historic coffee-estate complex. Its collection covers furniture, textiles, porcelain and various decorative artworks spanning the 16th to the early 20th century, revealing the Indian Ocean region as a hub of East-West exchange, its trade networks and its aesthetic of daily life. The estate-style buildings, the master's house and courtyard, and the traces of coffee growing are worth a look in their own right. The museum also hosts occasional special exhibitions.
