Many people bypass this unimposing museum and miss what is perhaps one of the most authentic experiences in the Caribbean. Even my husband and I (intrepid explorers) nearly didn't go in after walking up the chipped cement steps to the 2nd story where this tiny museum is housed. (Especially after seeing the sign "admission $3.00" and wondering if it was worth it.) Granted, most curators would go ballistic about the open air conditions (no a/c controlling heat and humidity) and the ragged condition of some of the exhibits. But if you keep in perspective what a poor country Dominica is, you'll be in awe of the unique and dense informational material they managed to pack into this waterfront building. There were maps about the country's volcanic origin and stellar geomorphological features--Dominica is the "Nature Island of the Caribbean," after all. There are also many artifacts about the Amer-Indian natives, the slaves and all their cultures. I learned more about reefs than I'd ever known just by examining the one chart about the various offshore depths around the island fostering different populations of sea life. Just be prepared for dense reading! And be sure to look at the front desk that sells pamphlet-style books you can't get anywhere else: a priceless children's book written in the native language and a music book documenting old native songs as catalogued by a former Peace Corps volunteer. Although I wish I could donate a million dollars to the Dominica Museum in order to preserve and expand its materials and bring it up to appropriate standards, I treasure the experience I had seeing it as it was.

Once onshore from your ship's docking position in the capital's port, this attraction is straight in front of you. A small entry fee to see a bit of this island's history.

Usd 3 to get in.
Cute provincial hotel offering an insight to old Dominica and the Caribbean and Kalinago life.
Has the feel of a museum of the past... but charming all the same.

Check the painting of Queen Victoria in the stairwell and old colonial furniture.

Will take 30 mins max.

This historic building and it's contents are in great need of some tender loving care by a curator of museums. If such a persons could only volunteer their time and knowledge, this could be a great place!!

We enjoyed the short climb of stairs to the museum and spent just under an hour. Well worth the $3 per person fee. Lots of history from British rule to now, interesting display of the volcanic activity, and some original furniture. The poor Victor phonograph needed to be restored. Too bad we weren't staying longer!
