Turks and Caicos National Museum

The couple that run the museum are so sweet! I am in a wheelchair full time, and unfortunately the museum is not wheelchair accessible… so, they brought amazing artifacts out to me to see, telling me stories or history of each item. They also shared general history of the island and the house which was very interesting.

Hidden gem on Grand Turk! The museum was included with our excursion (Panoramic Painting) via the cruise ship. Informative history and well laid out exhibits and displays. Found the video playing very interesting and room layouts were easy to navigate. Only reason I couldn't rate a 5 is I found the prices in the gift shop to be very high esp since locals literally down the street were selling the same items for less.

The Museum was a part of an Island Tour. It was a quaint little place packed with history about the island's roots. It's directly across from the ocean so the views are stunning. They had a food truck selling local food and children from the island sold beautiful handmade bracelets on the outside. Beautiful experience! My son's smile says it all❤️

Nice museum, where you can learn about the history of the islands. There's nothing interactive, just a small traditional museum, but interesting enough. No restrooms, though. Also, lots of vendors nearby (and free restrooms there) selling souvenirs. The view from the parking lot is beautiful, this turquoise water is just magnificent.

Beautiful Museum. I loved the Gift Store. Very special and beautiful local items for sale. I bought some post cards here. 6 for $5. Everything was reasonably priced. This Island depends upon tourism and visitors. Lots of beautiful scenery to admire. This Museum is across the street from the Ocean. The Tram stopped across the street and I was able to visit. Burros are free to roam the Island. I bought many beautiful things here. Everyone loved the Island. It was a cruise favorite. The Admission price is affordable, $5. Yearly Admission available.

Wonderful staff! The museum was clean and easy to maneuver around. The gift shop had some really cool little doodads as well. I appreciate the A/C too! I went the first week of May and it was a hot day with no breeze.

Good to see various heritage and history in other countries. As a Mason, I was able to see some lodges out by the beach. The locals were friendly. We rented a golf cart to get around. Nothing like seeing the city at 20 mph. Beach was clean and beautiful
