General Information:
The San Salvador Museum was originally opened in 1992 as one of the projects to mark the quincentennial anniversary of the Landfall of Christopher Columbus on the island of San Salvador in The Bahamas. The museum was at that time located in the old court house and jail in Cockburn Town. It accommodated exhibits depicting the history of the intercultural encounters, as well as artifacts from excavations of sites throughout the island. Due to structural instability the Museum was relocated to the site of the old primary school in Cockburn town. Several devastating hurricanes have caused some damage to the buildings that are now being restored to house the soon-to-be reopened San Salvador Museum.
