The Cayman Islands National Museum is, in our Opinion, one of the finest museums in the Caribbean. A visit here is a great way to learn more about Cayman history and culture. Over the ears this seaside building, just across from the cruise ship terminals, has served as a courthouse, jail, and meeting hall, and today it houses over 2,000 artifacts that recall the history of these islands.
Created in 1979 by a Museum law and opened in 1990, the museum collects items of historic, scientific, and artistic relevance. You’ll enter on the ground floor. Begin your visit with an eight-minute slide show about the history of these islands. From there, enjoy a self-guided tour of the museum, with displays on all facets of Caymanian life.
Abathymetric map illustrates the depth of the seas around the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Trench at 23,750 feet below sea level. Other exhibits focus on the islands' natural history, including mangrove swamps, which create a rich birding environment; caymanite, a semi-precious stone unique to the Cayman islands; and displays on local marine life.
