What to do and see in Bermuda, Bermuda: The Best 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.

Life in colonial Bermuda: museum collection includes a letter from George Washington and an 18th century kitchen, and is housed in a building built in 1700.

Was in St. George late in the season and not much was happening. Found this house museum and it made the trip. One of the oldest houses in Bermuda, stuffed with both historic artifacts and more recent memorabilia (lots about QEII's trip to Bermuda in the 1950s). The guide was a native and went over and above to describe the house, how it was built, what life was like in old Bermuda, etc. Well worth the $5 admission.

Gallery 1-17 is a great walk in off the street welcoming space, which hosts an interesting variety of group shows and solo art exhibitions. Small and intimate where getting up close and personal with the creations is easy to do - especially after the buzz from the maddening crowd Official Artist's Openings dies down. I enjoy my visits to this Front Street spot.

Today I visited the Dragon's Lair Gallery in St. George for the first time. Wow! Very impressed with the carefully selected variety of artwork and local crafts. Tucked away on the waterfront, the gallery is in a light and airy setting with the friendliest of staff. I'm a local and very proud of our artisans who've created this truly magical little gallery..

Stopped by to see the Shepard Fairey exhibit [on through April] and enjoyed the balance of the galleries immensely. There was an exhibit of women artists from the island which was refreshing, as well as an interestingly organized assemblage of works by island artists as well as others in an unusual juxtaposition of periods and medium. Make it a point to spend a leisurely hour at the galleries.

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...
