National Museum of Bermuda
Historic site
The National Museum of Bermuda occupies the historic Keep fortification of the former Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island in Sandys Parish. Originally opened in 1974 as the Bermuda Maritime Museum, it was renamed in 2009 to reflect its expanded scope covering all aspects of Bermudian history. The museum's collections span the island's colonial heritage, maritime traditions, and natural history, displayed within the granite walls of the dockyard's most heavily defended inner compound. It publishes books on Bermuda history and hosts cultural events year-round.
