On the programme

The Voodoo Castle is a unique museum, hosting the largest private collection of West African Voodoo objects in the world. 

All the objects presented were used in religious practices: ancestor worship, medicine, divination, birth, witchcraft or other events related to major stages of life. Discover a little-known culture and a philosophy of life that is still widely practised today.

The collection, which originates from Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria, reveals its secrets in an exceptional setting : an 1878 water tower. 

The collection of over 1200 objects belongs to the founders of the museum: Marc and Marie Luce Arbogast. The day-to-day running of the place is managed by the non-profit association "Friends of the Strasbourg Vodou Museum"

C'est un beau musée mais l'entrée est un peu chère

Accueil à revoir.

Mauvais accueil quand on a présenté notre billet au monsieur à l’accueil (C’était un jeune, soit disant qu’il travaille là depuis 5 ans). Mais c’était une bonne visite en soi.
