Museum of St Helena, Local history museum in Jamestown, Saint Helena

The Museum of Saint Helena occupies two floors of a stone building at the foot of Jacob's Ladder, displaying maritime and military artifacts.

The museum opened in 2002 in a renovated late-18th-century power station building, marking the 500th anniversary of Saint Helena's discovery.

The collections document the social evolution of Saint Helena through exhibits of local artifacts, photographs, and historical documents from the British colonial period.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to noon, with free admission.

The museum preserves items recovered from ships that were lost or scuttled near the Saint Helena coast, including maritime navigation instruments.
