Museum of Antigua and Barbuda

Things to do · Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda

Housed in the former courthouse built around 1750, the oldest building still in use in St. John's, the national museum tells the islands' story from their geological origins through Amerindian settlement to independence. Its compact galleries hold archaeological finds, everyday historical objects and exhibits on Barbuda, alongside a research library. It makes an easy, informative hour in the capital, especially on a cruise or shopping day.
