National Museum of Bermuda

Cultural Attractions

Cultured. Contemporary. Creative.

Bermudians are natural creators. Maybe it stems from being a small, isolated island – throughout history, Bermudians had to be incredibly resourceful. Perhaps it’s the rich cultural melange that shapes the island, along with centuries-old traditions of storytelling and passing down cultural narratives through performance and art. The inspiring natural environment plays a role, too.

Today, Bermuda’s arts and cultural community is a strong one, with a powerful sense of pride and support for local artists, musicians, and creators. And great news if you’re visiting: there are endless ways to explore Bermuda’s culture up close.

Visual Arts

Spend an afternoon exploring the Masterworks Museum of Art, admire the outdoor murals throughout the City of Hamilton, check out the Bermuda Craft Market in Dockyard, or support a local artist directly with a gallery visit. See Bermuda through fresh eyes, and our story told in distinctly different ways.

 

Living Traditions & Performing Arts

Vibrant Gombey parades complete with colourful costumes and infectious rhythms, exciting dinghy races showcasing sailors’ speed and skill, the incredible energy of Cup Match from one end of the island to the other – Bermudian culture is on display loudly and proudly through the special traditions that are central to island life.

 

History & Heritage

Roam the streets of St. George’s, immerse yourself in Bermuda’s maritime history at the National Museum of Bermuda, or discover the African Diaspora Heritage Trail. View Bermuda National Trust properties throughout the island for a peek at different eras of Bermudian life.

Sightseeing & Tours

We’re proud of our island and we love to show it off. Let one of Bermuda’s friendly and knowledgeable guides introduce you to our history, culture, and natural glow.
