Cayman Islands National Museum

An excellent place to learn about the history and culture of the Cayman Islands. The place is set in the middle of Georgetown in the oldest building on the island. If you are come ng in through Cruise ship, you cannot miss it. I mean, you can if you want but I would highly recommend this. You will need about 45mins to tour this place, obviously you can spend more time if you want.

Very nice little museum! We've been to the Caymans twice and I really enjoyed getting to know more about the islands' history and people. It focuses on Grand Cayman, briefly touching on the other two islands. There's a new animatronic in one upstairs room that is impressive. One room has rotating local art. The maps say there's a children's room, but it was a rotating feature on an important local figure when we visited. Still, we had children ranging in age from 7-18, and they all enjoyed it and were able to learn a lot. Don't skip the movie at the beginning!

This was a really neat little museum showing the history of Georgetown and it's people. There's a neat little theater style show in the beginning and then you get to explore the museum freely it's not very big which is good it doesn't take all day to get through it was only eight dollars a person to get in so as well worth doing I recommend that you stop here just to get an idea of the place that you're visiting.

I was in Cayman, my hometown, and took my girlfriend to Cayman’s wonderful historical museum. We watched a short film on the history of the island, and then toured the amazing interactive museum. This is a must to see when you come to Grand Cayman! My ❤️! My people!

Little bit of history in downtown Grand Cayman. Original boat built ceiling like the old ships built on island. Great history of the Cayman Islands & great map of the Caribbean Sea.

We like going to museums wherever we can find them, so the location near the cruise port was very helpful. After entering through the gift shop, we saw the introductory multimedia video presentation, which was very well done. The downstairs level had two rooms, one of which is the Old Gaol: an active archaeological site. The other room is a nice natural history section, which covers the geology, flora, fauna, and marine life of the Cayman Islands. Upstairs, there is an exhibit on the human history of the Cayman Islands, an art exhibit, an exhibit on the creation of the Cayman Islands coat of arms, and a featured exhibit on Annie Huldah Bodden, a noteworthy lawyer and civil servant. It's definitely worth the short walk from the cruise port. Be aware that the gift shop prices are in Cayman dollars, but they have a good selection and accept credit cards.

The Cayman islands national museum is a wonderful place to spend about an hour. You learn all about the history of the islands. Plenty to see and plenty of history to share. The video is great. Make sure you stay to the end to hear the kids singing. Clean restroom. I would strongly recommend if you have an interest in the island besides just warm weather and drinks.

Small museum and even less content. It should be about $7 not $15 realistically based on the quality and amount of content. We found it interesting and educational but doesn't quite meet expectations/compare to other museums
