Nice museum, quick visit (suitable for children). Price as of August 13, 2026 (see photo). Bad experience with the souvenir vendors located behind the museum, whom I found rather unpleasant (or perhaps having a narrow-minded view of tourists).

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is situated across from the harbor, offering a great view of the Caribbean Sea.

The story about Dominica. You're back outside within half an hour. Not really worth the effort.
