National Museum, National heritage museum in George Town, Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands National Museum occupies the oldest public building in the territory, featuring two permanent galleries and three changing exhibition spaces.

The museum originated from Ira Thompson's private collection of artifacts in the 1930s, which the government acquired in 1979, forming the foundation of current holdings.

The Cultural History Gallery presents the islands' heritage through themed displays, maritime artifacts, and video reenactments of historical court proceedings.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with admission at CI$10 for adults.

The Natural History Gallery contains a three-dimensional bathymetric map and virtual submarine experience showcasing the geological formations surrounding the islands.
