DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO GET ROUND
5 USDs in enter if not part of bigger tour but in truth there’s not much to see. Some interesting artefacts about Grenada’s history, particularly around its part in the slave trade, whaling and the sugar industry. Didn't take long to get round.

Great progress but still much to do
We last visited the museum about three years ago when the jumble of displays was sorely in need of TLC and some basic cleaning. Much has been done - the displays have been freshened up, the artefects cleaned and some new captions labels placed here and there. The exterior has had a major refurbishment recently. The groundfloor features displays ranging from the early Caribs and Arawaks, the slavery era to rather sad looking 1960s sewing machines and typewriters. I can just image someone saying 'Oh its old, so give it to the museum.' The first floor currently has a display of the many letters and telegrams that were flying through diplomatic channels when the Cubans and the US went to war over the island in the 1980s. Unfortunately, the museum does not appear to have the resources to copy and display the documents adequately. The museum is obviously starved of investment. Do visit it - round the corner from the Nutmeg restaurant and across the road from Courts furniture store. The displays of the islands's early history are interesting and they need every dollar they can earn! (Admission is EC$5 = US$2 = GBP1.25.
