We recently visited, for the very first time, and remain in AWE of the beauty of the artifacts as well as Artwork & history contained within the walls. The staff was very kind and helpful. Would love for others to take the opportunity to stop in for a visit.

So I love Belize and I always thoroughly enjoy myself when I'm there. This place is a gem and even though the museum itself is a small venue there is a lot of information/history within and the exhibits are well maintained and displayed. From history to Mayan ruins and artifacts to entomology, to art, it's a fantastic place to visit and learn a little bit. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the country.

Nice little museum located right on the property of Central Bank of Belize. It was an old jail in 1800’s, so interesting architecture and some old steel bars as a reminder. History of Belize slavery trade along with some bird collection and artifacts. Worth an hour or two of your time.

Smaller museum that provides information on the history and culture of the country. While it has an excellent section on slavery the Maya section is disappointing

The museum had an array of interesting exhibitions. Slavery in Belize, The history of the former prison that the museum is in, Different types of traditions, An art exhibition by a local artist, Beautiful birds, and An insect exhibition underway. They were all very interesting, and there is something for everyone. To me, however, the most interesting part was about slavery. It always blows my mind how awful our history is, and how we always find ways to justify why we do the things we do. How there's very often someone who for one reason or the other think they are more important and more valuable than someone else. Even though we are all human beings, equally important, since we are all needed no matter what part we play in society. It's the type of exhibition that isn't uplifting, instead it makes you think. And to me that's imperative if we are ever going to learn from our past. I also had the privilege of bumping into one of the employees a few times and she gave me a more in-depth experience and understanding of what it was like, so if you're able to get a guided tour or have someone to ask all the questions you are left with I urge you to grasp the opportunity. No photos were allowed, hence the pictures of the building. I highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Belize if you're in the neighborhood.

Vary nice, local artists, and historical including slavery.. While waiting for the the door to open. We were early. The guard explained a lot about the culture and slavery. Everyone knows who Abraham Lincoln is in Belize.
