The Dominica Museum

This is a small but very informative and nicely organized museum with friendly staff. The admission fee was $3 USD. The exhibits are interesting, well presented and provide a great introduction to the history and culture of this picturesque island nation. The museum is in a historic building just across from a cruise ship terminal in Roseau. There are well maintained restrooms situated outside the museum entrance at the side of the building that are available for a nominal charge. This museum is well worth a visit when visiting Roseau.

We enjoyed our visit here. Head up the stairs to the 2nd floor and pay the posted $3 US per person to enter (I see another review says $5 US so maybe there are seasonal differences?). Staff quietly pleasant and welcoming enough. The exhibits are not fancy but provide a good amount of information on Dominica’s history, culture, people, geology, and flora. There are historical photos, artifacts like a dugout canoe, and art. To me, the creators have done a wonderful job of providing info in summary form fit for a wide span of audience interests. I believe that most folks will spend 30 to 60 minutes here. Please check out my photos herein.

A good starting point to exploring Dominica. Small museum, but you still learn a lot on this small island nation. I went to the island for the jungle and outdoor activities, but now I'm clued up on all the history. I also very much enjoyed the volcanic exhibition and being educated on the plate tectonics of the Caribbean region. This took up a large part of the museum. Also the staff were cool. Typical Caribbean - breezy and friendly. They gave out the WiFi code readily, and we were glad to have it at the time. That, and the air con. The museum is located in the main port in Roseau and was cheap too. Definitely worth a visit

Small and informative local museum providing an overview of the founding of Dominica. 5$ us entrance fee.

Small museum with a small history of Dominica. Good to get a flyover on the history. $3 US per person. Air conditioned & have water available

When visiting Roseau, go to the Dominica museum. It is worth the $3usd to understand the history of the island.

It's so much fun! Inexpensive and a great place to learn and view historic information about the island.

I learned a few new things! Nice collection however would be good to use a museum expert to redecorate everything. It could be displayed and explained so much better.
