We really enjoyed the Junkanoo Wolrd Museum. We loved hearing about the Junkanoo festival and heritage. Seeing all of the elaborate costumes they wear in the parades was amazing. Quintin and our tour guide gave us a look at how they are made, WHAT SKILL. The pride is apparent in this museum, it is not to be missed.

This small, but interesting museum its well worth a visit. Just a two or three block walk from Bay Street, the art is very good and the building is welcoming. The "Refuge" exhibit is superb.
