Summary[edit]

Description

At 8:00 am on the morning of May 8, 1902, Mt. Pelee erupted sending a pyroclastic cloud of hot gases and ash on the city of Saint Pierre on the Caribbean island of Martinique. The city was destroyed and over 30,000 people were killed instantly.

In the ruins of the theater is this sculpture by Madeleine Jouvray. The sculpture, created in 1917, shows a face in pain to represent the pain the city has experienced.
