Big Changes Behind the Scenes!

We’ve been a little quiet lately — but for a big reason! Our team has been hard at work relocating over 12,000 artefacts to a brand-new facility. From art and history to maritime treasures and natural wonders, this move marks a major step forward in preserving and sharing the rich heritage of the Cayman Islands.

Stay tuned — exciting exhibitions and new ways to explore the collection are on the horizon! Learn more
