Pompey Museum of Slavery & Emancipation

Reviewed By KMJAmanda - Minneapolis, United States

My family and I visited downtown Nassau during our 7 day vacation in the Bahamas. We brought along our 2 kids who were missing school but we didn’t want the learning to stop. So, we decided to pay a visit to the museum. It’s about $3 per person and very affordable. The museum is small but overall the experience was incredibly impactful. We have learned about the impact of slavery from the States’ perspective (being that we’re from the US) but it was so beneficial to learn about slavery from the perspective of the Bahamian, Caribbean, and British people. The house that host the museum is the Vendue House. Chills literally ran down our spines when we read that this was the location where many slaves were sold. It’s heartbreaking but I’m so glad that my family stopped here to learn about the history of slavery in the Bahamas. It just made us appreciate the Bahamians, their history, and our trip so much more. I think every tourist needs to take a moment to stop and learn about the history and people of the places they travel too. The Pompey Museum is a great place for learning.

Dolphin House Museum

Established in 1993 the Dolphin House Museum, a 'Poem in Stone' is a three-story dolphin and ocean-inspired museum built using recycled materials by local Biminite author and historian Ashley Saunders. A popular cultural tourist attraction visited daily by international travelers also offers a novel gift shop for souvenir purchases. The Dolphin House Museum is Bimini's most unique and artistic structure and must be seen by anyone visiting this little island in the stream. Inspired by a swim with a pod of Bimini's wild dolphins. Mr. Saunders considers himself a dolphin inspired artist. "The dolphins touched my heart, and made me an artist." - Ashley Saunders
