Bermuda's history is synonymous with maritime activities. I think this must be the largest of all museums in Bermuda. Be prepared. Every aspect of Bermuda's maritime history and then some is covered here. It is contained in several historic buildings at the Dockyard. It's worth going to. It's just a lot to see and try to absorb. There are some... More

The Museum is a well-maintained exhibit. Professional all the way! Many different types of exhibits which display the vast history of Bermuda. Lots of stairs but there is an elevator in the building to help. The grounds where the Museum is located is an old British Fort. Many of these buildings are being renovated and are in a somewhat state... More

Not very interesting. Lots of maritime items. I would have preferred walking around Hamilton than wasting $10 USD for admission. More

I was reluctant to spend the admission fee for this, not being much of a museum 'chick'. My husband went twice before we finally decided that it not only was a great museum, it makes a satisfactory tourist destination for when we've had visitors, therefore we joined under a family membership. Each time we've taken guests we see something new... More

My husband and I rented a small place near The Old Royal Naval Dockyard and were so impressed with this museum. Room after room was filled with fascinating artifacts and history -much of it strongly connected to America's Civil War. The Museum is beautifully maintained. We were so impressed that such a small island had gathered so many artifacts. Bermuda... More

We enjoyed our visit here, especially the old cannons and other armaments on the lower level, as well as some of the beautiful furnishings and art work on the upper level. Well worth checking out. And don't miss the smaller buildings surrounding the main one, or the great views from around the property. Just don't forget to close the gate... More

We didn't have enough time at the museum because we were being picked up from there at a designated time, but we really wanted to see the museum for a couple of hours. it was fantastic and we tried to get back during our stay but didn't make it back. Being at the whole dockyard is fantastic, many neat places... More
