Things to do in Bermuda, Bermuda: The Best Specialty Museums
Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

The American Civil War from a Bermudian perspective: a museum chronicling the island's involvement with the Confederates during the Civil War.
Reviewed By Hedger123 - Bermuda, Caribbean
The Bermuda National Trust tours and museums are marvellous. Up close looks at 400 years of history in Bermuda, and how this little island played important, if not pivotal roles in the American Revolution and the Civil War. Fascinating stories about the people that made a difference. Beautiful furniture, China and artefacts, and a great little gift shop in St Georges. Anyone with the slightest interest in history will enjoy hours here...

This gets a rare 5 stars because, quite simply, it is so fascinating. My wife and I expected an hour would be plenty, but it seized our attention and wouldn't let go. From the cedar root that was more than 7,000 years old through the excellent virtual reality session (at the America's Cup), the explanation of theories about the "Bermuda Triangle" and the treasure room, to name just a few. Information was presented in an interesting fashion and there were plenty of interactive exhibits. One of only two niggles is that s few of the interactive exhibits were not working. In general things were designed to appeal to a wide range of ages and did so very successfully. My second niggle is the prominence on the outside of the building given to bizarre explanations for the "Bermuda Triangle". The exhibit itself was far more down to earth. A huge amount of thought and planning must have gone into this exhibition. It has thoroughly succeeded. Well done! Top tip: I found the virtual reality exhibit breathtaking. I suspect there may be queues for it in the tourist season, so arrive early.

As the Queen Victoria was docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard, we were struck by the house on the hill. We discovered it was the Commissioner’s House located within the National Museum of Bermuda. Although we did not have the time to visit the museum, we did read about the house. It is the oldest cast iron house in the world - built in 1820. In fact, the frame of the building was cast in England and then brought to Bermuda. It was left abandoned in the 1950’s and then the house went through a twenty-year restoration and is now the crown jewel of an already impressive collection of historical buildings and artifacts.
