Our collection of historic and cultural artifacts is a bit eclectic. Ranging from old maps to island music, the museum aims to capture snapshots of the island’s history and events. Some date back to before European settlement in the islands.
We try to strike a balance and showcase items that celebrate Taino, West Indian, American and Danish influences on the island.
In addition to our physical items, we often highlight local, Caribbean music through our sound system. Our historians and team are versed on all aspects of our collection and music and ready to share stories, anecdotes or general facts about St. Thomas.
Some of our collection is not viewable by the general public due to its fragility. On our private tours we do offer the opportunity to see some of these items – most of them include old documents and papers from famous (ex. the grandfather of Impressionist painters) folks here on the island.
