Even a strong hurricane did not wipe the Caymans and their history off the face of the earth. The building of the National Museum is still located on the Cayman Islands.

At first glance, it seems that you have a wrong address and come to the private sector, where some wealthy people rest. But this neat white house is actually National Museum, preserving the history of the three islands. 

Red roof, white facade, and stairs leading to the second floor. The house seems to be so light. It is amazing how the building has been still preserved after so many years and storms. The building was established at the beginning of the 19th century. It is considered one of the oldest ones in the Caymans. People sang, danced, and even received letters here… A judge’s gavel banged the table for so many times and broke men’s destinies. Here, the prisoners served their sentences. It seems that Georgetown had only one building, functioning as all the services in turn.

For almost a hundred years, the building has been a museum. It keeps the history of the islands, the traditions of the ancient peoples living here before the settlers. It even tells about local nature.

In the beginning, there were … pebbles, stone hammers, knives of animal bones. The era of ancient civilizations in the Caymans is presented so vividly and in detail. You walk through the halls and see how the time flies. The Caymans were developing so fast.  

Water murmurs and birds sing… The gallery of natural sciences shows the nature of the Cayman Islands. It tells about the underwater world of the archipelago as well as geological findings. 

Politics, religion, culture.  These are so different but so important areas for the inhabitants of the Cayman Islands. Each of them has its exposition. 

In the museum, you feel that the Cayman Islands have an incredible nature and history.
