Tobago Museum

Tobago


The Fort King George officers’ quarters now contain this small but worthy museum, which displays a healthy collection of Amerindian artifacts, maps from the 1600s, military relics, paintings, a small geology exhibit and a neat collection of domestic artifacts from Tobago's more recent history.
