This is a very well organized museum with interesting information very well presented. As good as you'll find anywhere, and I love museums.
From the outside it looks small but great inks come in a little package. Lots of information from shipwrecks to the John Glenn landing of his space module. Very interesting
During our Carnival Cruise we paid for an excursion tour around the island which included going into the museum for a certain amount of time. The entire tour took a little less then an hour and we were back on the bus.
Included was a welcome video and a walk around of the entire area including the top floors. There...

Lots of interesting artifacts and historical items from their salt harvesting and trading past to be seen here. You can see the salt that was harvested and shipped from this location on display. Interesting.
The museum was very gracious and allowed us to enter with only 10 minutes remaining before they closed. We enjoyed all of the exhibits, but especially those which detailed the Islands' rich history with ship wrecks and wreckers. A must stop for anyone visiting Grand Turk.
We were not able to visit, sadly, because of the limited hours it was open - its only open in mornings, while the dives are also in the mornings, so divers would not be able to visit
We visited the Grand Turk Museum and although it is small, it is nice and informative. Lot's of reading and pictures, short video too. The island is not really developed, feel bad for those trying to eek out a living there. Visit the museum and help their economy!
the museum was well worth the wait. Finally after 3 trips to Grand Turk we were able to visit the museum. It is a great way to learn about Grand Turk and the treasures of the deep!
The national museum really gave us a sense of the islands' history and character, with an excellent video and exhibits and artifacts from a famous shipwreck. The new botanical gardens are lovely! We got a personal tour!.
