Heritage Museum Of The Bahamas

Probably not what a lot of people think about on a trip to the Bahamas. We had a rainy day to fill and wandered this direction. The museum has a nice collection with both more modern mixed media and historical photos and depictions of the island. There are both indoor and outdoor installations.

Is there a way to give no stars? We walked to the location depicted, across the street north of Graycliff. This museum is closed. Someone working in the building said it had been closed for two years. Yet there are recent positive reviews. At least one has an exterior photo that is not of the building at this location. I cannot explain it, but I do know we were in the correct location as there is a sign about Mountbatten.

Lovely little museum that gives a great insight into the history and culture of the Bahamas. The exhibits are well organized, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a small place, but full of interesting artifacts and stories — definitely worth a visit if you’re in Nassau.

Very nice museum to learn about the Bahamas. A main criticism is that it was boiling hot inside!!! As if the AC was put on heating it was unbearable. Also the audio guide was batchy, better if you bring your own headphones.

The museum is small in structure but jammed packed with the wonders, mysteries, treasures and history of The Bahamas. The tour takes you on a walk through time with real life artifacts and models dating back hundreds of years. I wish they would one day include a dress up photo both with the Victorian area. A great activity for locals and tourists alike.

Small, intimate venue, but packed with interesting stuff. One of our favorite sites visited during our trip. It's part of the Graycliff site, and they apparently funded the set up and maintenance. It has an eclectic collection of Bahamian memorabilia. Highly recommended.

We had been to Nassau 2 times before and never saw this little place. But we are so glad we walked by this last trip. Awesome museum! We took the audio tour, takes 30-40 minutes and you walk out he whole place guided by an audio device they provide you at the entrance. It is a huge tool to understand what you are, and guide you through history. This is a must see place. From the cruise port you get there in a short walking. We recommend this museum to every Nassau visitor.

Unfortunately, I would say this one is a skip, and this comes from a history lover. Pros are that the staff is very friendly and they have some interesting objects. Unfortunately, there is no guided tour, no audio tour, and really hardly any descriptions or labels even of what you are looking at, so you just see some objects in cases and have to wonder about them. This could be set up way better. Also, the a/c doesn’t work so the heat inside was unbearable. Cost was also too high for such a small museum. I wish them the best and with some better descriptions or tours and fixed a/c this could be a cute and worthwhile stop.
