St. Maarten’s first museum opened its doors in 1989. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the St. Maarten National Heritage Foundation, it has continued to expand ever since. The museum’s exhibits reveal the island’s social, political and natural history.
The museum’s permanent exhibits include relics dating as far back as 500 B.C., including tools, sculptures and tombs. Learn about the early days of life on the island. The Arawak people came here circa A.D. 1000, all the way from the jungles of South America.
Entry fee: by donation.
Note: We were back in Philipsburg on December 15, 2018 and added two photos.
