6 Museums in George Town That You Shouldn't Miss
Georgetown is the capital of the Cayman Islands and one of the most popular cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean, thanks to its year-round tropical weather, white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Don't miss Stingray City and diving and snorkeling near the coral reef. Georgetown offers plenty of duty-free shopping, restaurants and cafes. If you can pull yourself away from the beach, try an excursion to one of the West Indies' few remaining tropical rain forests.

This museum is worth checking out. It doesn’t take too long to go through but it does a nice job of covering the history, people, animals, and life of the Cayman Islands. It was fascinating to see the graffiti on the walls of the old jail! Furthermore, this place has a fantastic selection of Caymanite jewelry at very reasonable prices!!

I was impressed by the National Gallery. The space is lovely and decently sized. The permanent collection upstairs was bolder and more exciting than I might have expected, and there was a great retrospective on the painter generally viewed as Cayman's greatest living artist. And no admission fee--bonus!
