Review:

The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is situated in the former British military prison at St. Ann’s Garrison. The museum has eight galleries. The African Gallery explores African heritage and its creation of Caribbean society, and the Jubilee Gallery features 4,000 years of island history from Amerindian culture to pre-independent Barbados; both are must-see exhibitions. Other galleries include the Military, Aall, Harewood, Cunard, Warmington, and Children’s Galleries, all worthy of exploration. The museum also hosts poster exhibitions that include the History of Cricket, Jazz in Barbados, Ending the Trade, 375 Years in Holetown, and Symbols of Independence. The museum offers wedding and event space.
