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.

My husbad and I had the tour guide to ourselves about an hour before closing time. She was very thorough and informative. Definitely worth a visit as we love buildings that show how people lived decades ago, and we happily made a donation.

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.
