The Barbados Museum & Historical Society can be visited self-guided, or on a guided tour booked with the receptionist 48 hours in advance. For families, the draw is the Jairus Brewster Children’s Gallery, where the exhibits are interactive and children learn by handling things and playing.
The trade-off is that the Children’s Gallery is not simply walk-in: if you want your tour to include it, you need to arrange an appointment with the museum beforehand.
Photography of the books and documents in the library is not allowed; the library offers a photocopying service instead.
