Quite small ,but with lots of interesting items, it can get crowded as the school children were on a trip ,didn't impact on our visit as they were so polite. It was 3 euros to enter, and we could use the wifi. Wish we had more time there. There was a lot about Christopher Columbus, a small gift shop in the corner that offers small trinkets. The museum is well worth a visit. We will return on our next trip.

Charming museum walking distance from the cruise terminal. Exhibitions begin with the forming of the islands from the movement of the earth’s plate tectonics, to the islands colonial past, slavery and its independence. The exhibits need a little refreshing and updating, as many look worn down. Nevertheless, the information is valuable and speaks to the overall history of the Antilles.

The Museum of Antigua and Barbuda is ideally located in the heart of st John's, it holds within it the rich history of a proud Caribbean people. It tells about the history from the formation of islands, the indigenous people, colonizing of island, and the brutality of slavery and the fight to be free from shackles of the colonial masters.

Very small and doable. Some important and meaningful history regarding the slavery history at the back wall. Stuff that warrants regular reminders to keep a measured perspective about your life and privilege. Whatever you do, don’t go sit in there and scam wifi. Make the 3$ contribution and enrich yourself for 1/2 hour.

Small but quite interesting museum giving historical background to Antiguan history. Exhibits are quite limited and it can be visited quickly as there are really inly a couple of rooms if exhibits currently although some restoration is perhaps being done. Worth a visit if you temper your expectations.

No visit to a new country would be complete without visiting their historical sites and museums. I enjoyed learning about the history of Antigua and Barbuda. The information is well presented and compelling. I travelled here solo, but I would recommend this for a family outing as well.
