5 Museums in St. John's That You Shouldn't Miss
In St. John's, the capital city of Antigua, farmers markets, candy- colored architecture and the ruins of sugar plantations vie for attention with a kaleidoscope of coral reefs and sailing adventures. Salute the white baroque towers of St. John's Cathedral that dominate the skyline before joining the flocks of cruise passengers on a Heritage Quay shopping excursion. To experience the island's early cultures, visit the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, housed in a 1750s colonial courthouse.

Zemi Art Gallery contains some fabulous gems of art and handcrafted jewelry. It is much more than a souvenir shop. A great place to browse and out the local art scene.

Cedars Pottery began in 1996 when Antiguan born ceramicist Michael Hunt returned to Antigua with his English wife and ceramicist Imogen Margrie. They collaborated to produce a range of hand thrown decorated tableware. The couple have been delighted by the response to their work.

Sugar plantation established in 1674 and preserved as a monument to the slaves whose labor it exploited.

Really interesting place to visit, great exhibit of the Sugar plantations, showing a model of how the area was, including all the housing. It explained the Slave trade, how some managed to help themselves in such a terrible situation, where others suffered badly, and ran away to the Devils Bridge, only to loose their lives.
