Museum Offers Free Admission In February
The National Museum of Bermuda [NMB] is opening its doors for free to all Bermuda residents during the month of February.
“For over four decades, NMB has promoted the preservation, understanding and enjoyment of Bermuda’s cultural heritage through collecting practices, exhibitions, restoration projects, conservation, research, publications, education and archaeology,” a spokesperson said.
“Knowing, understanding, and appreciating our history and heritage allows us to effectively confront the issues of the present, shapes our identity and our lives, and strengthens our purpose in the world.
“With over 80,000 artifacts in its collection, the Museum exhibits cover a range of diverse topics including Bermuda’s cultural links with the West Indies and Azores, trans-Atlantic slavery and slavery in Bermuda, Bermuda’s defence heritage, shipwrecks and early Bermuda settlement, the building of Dockyard and much more.
“NMB’s 16-acre property also contains jaw-dropping views, massive cannon, local watercraft, a stunning mural and a children’s playground and playhouse that make it fun for all ages.”
Upon entry during the month of February, Bermuda residents can enter a weekly raffle during February to win a free membership. NMB member benefits include: unlimited free admission, discounted guest rates, the popular magazine MARITimes, 10% discount on all NMB publications, access to genealogy research, invitations to special events, savings at participating Dockyard restaurants and Dolphin Quest, and reciprocal membership to maritime museums affiliated with the International Congress of Maritime Museums.
To take advantage the Free for February opportunity, Bermuda residents should bring proof of residency such as driver’s licence or utility bill.
