the museum of st. helena印象

This museum is an unexpected gem. It is well laid out, covers a wide variety of subjects and has helpful and informative staff. Of particular in interest is the shipwreck section, particularly the Witte Lieuwe and the Papanui. There is also a working model of the St Helena "Railway" - tracks which used to alongside Jacob's Ladder with carts hauled up by donkeys. There are also some medical instruments including some with a label "you really don't want to know what this is for"

An interesting museum at the bottom of the Jacob´s ladder. It gives the history of the island up to 2nd WW. But no information about the 2nd WW and the Germans sinking of a Brittish warship in the bay and the islands envolvement in the Falkland War.

St Helena and everything about it is fascinating, well it is to me. The Island is well worth a visit for those who have the time and the inclination and the museum gives a great insight into St Helena's history. The museum staff are always friendly and happy to chat.

Full of wonderful island memorabilia. It seems like the islanders are proud of their home and want to share. Very interesting.

From an unassuming exterior to a magical experience within, this is one of the best small museums we have ever visited. The museum gives a valuable and indepth understanding of the islands history. Entry is free but donations are appreciated.

This museum, housed in a lovely old building, displays a wide range of artefacts and information about the history of the island and the people who have lived there over the ages. The contents are very well presented and captioned and cover both famous events and social and family history. The level of demand and interest is well pitched and the exhibits and text can be understood and appreciated by both children and their parents, whether 'Saints' or visitors. The staff are extremely helpful. It has a good little shop - one of the better places to buy souvenirs.
-
A small museum packed with unusual and interesting artefacts from the history of the Island. There is also a well stocked gift shop and occasional art shows.
