Turks and Caicos National Museum

The Turks and Caicos National Museum displays artifacts, maritime exhibits, and cultural collections inside a limestone building on Front Street of Grand Turk.

The museum exhibits the Molasses Reef Wreck from 1505, recognized as the earliest European shipwreck discovered in the western hemisphere, with preserved hull sections and artifacts.

The museum presents extensive collections of Lucayan ceremonial objects, colonial-era salt production tools, and traditional island housing representations from the 1800s.

Museum visitors can explore two floors of exhibits, including the original Grand Turk Lighthouse lens, maritime displays, and interactive installations with audio-visual elements.

The museum building incorporates materials from local shipwrecks, featuring a repurposed ship mast that functions as a primary structural support beam.
