Museums & Heritage Centers

Cultural museums help to preserve historic artifacts, art, and folklore that offer an insight into traditions and daily life throughout the centuries. Folk museums focus on crafts, music, and oral traditions, keeping local culture alive for generations to come. These tours bring more than an appreciation of history and culture because they bring inspiration for people on the island as well as their creativity and perseverance.
