It is well worth the trip and learning something new in this museum!
The building formerly housed the Treasury on St. Kitts and Nevis is now home to the National Museum of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The building’s original location was on the waterfront of Basseterre Bay, which is now the land between Basseterre and Port Zante.
The reclaimed ground has been transformed into a new entrance to Basseterre, where cruise liners now anchor.
Built in 1894 out of naturally formed, locally mined limestone, this venerable old edifice was constructed around 1894.
Moreover, it is an excellent location to learn more about the history, heritage, and colonial heritage of St. Kitts.
Also, you’ll find three galleries that contain exhibits that depict the tale of the country’s legacy, including its original people, sugar plantations, rum trade, carnival items, and, lastly, their independence.
In addition to that, there is an exhibition of incredibly bright traditional clothing. Make sure to take lots of photos with your family as well!
This modest museum is a good place to start your explorations of St Kitts. Displays deal with colonial history, the rise of the sugar industry, the road to independence, and local lifestyle and traditions. It’s housed in the 1894 Old Treasury Building, a stately pile built from hand-cut volcanic limestone.
