Dockyard Museum

The Dockyard Museum occupies several historical buildings within Nelson's Dockyard, displaying maritime artifacts, naval equipment, and detailed ship models from colonial times.

Established in 1855 as officers' quarters for the Royal Navy, the building transformed into a museum after serving as National Parks offices in the 1970s.

The museum exhibits demonstrate the maritime traditions of Antigua through collections of photographs, tools, and documents that show the evolution of naval operations.

Visitors can access guided tours, educational programs, and special exhibitions daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with admission fees including access to the surrounding UNESCO site.

The museum preserves original architectural elements from the 1855 construction, including period-specific stonework and naval design features from British colonial engineering.
