EXHIBITION:
Our team is busy creating a major new exhibit that will share the 16th and 17th century story of Bermuda’s discovery, its later accidental colonisation and first decades of settlement. But Bermuda's beginnings will be told with a twist — through the Island's shipwrecks and the people and methods that bring their secrets and collections to the surface.
As the birthplace of the Museum and its shipwreck exhibits, the Queen's Exhibition Hall on the lower grounds of the Dockyard Keep is the perfect home for this groundbreaking exhibit. We look forward to welcoming you to Shipwreck Island in 2012 so you too can explore sunken clues to Bermuda's past!
Contact Dr. Charlotte Andrews, ceabda@gmail.com for more details
