Do you want to learn the history of Bermuda, visit historic buildings, or admire the beautiful view? You can do all of it in one place in Sandys Parish.

Here, on the board of the Atlantic Ocean, is located the National Museum of Bermuda. It occupies the fortification of the 19th century. Looking at the museum complex, it may seem that there is a castle up there. A modest but strong castle. It has solid walls, low stone constructions, and no decorations. Once, there was a citadel of the Royal Naval Shipyard. The fortress was a symbol of British naval power.

The territory of the museum is huge. It is located not only on the surface but also underground. The National Museum of Bermuda is divided into two main parts. The first one is underground. It looks like a huge cellar. People do not offer you a glass of wine there, but you can find treasures! In a literal and figurative way!

In the underground part, the treasures left after the shipwrecks are keeping. We all know that it is the devil’s den, Bermuda triangle, so the shipwrecks were happening frequently. The bottom of the ocean near Bermuda is covered with English, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, and other artifacts. Among them, there are gold jewelry, China, weapons, various vases, beads, and even ampoules with medicine. People took out just a part of them, the rest is still underwater. 

These artifacts are examining. Scientists try to understand why tragedies occurred. During an underwater trip, you can easily find antiquities from ships. But locals ask to take with you only impressions and emotions.

The museum is located in the first cast building. It is the House of the Commissioner. Here is a collection telling the history of Bermuda in minute detail. You can find out how Bermuda looked like in the period of slavery and World War II. It is also interesting to look at wall inscriptions.
