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The collections document the social evolution of Saint Helena through exhibits of local artifacts, photographs, and historical documents from the British colonial period.
