We’re housed in Cayman’s oldest standing public building
The Cayman Islands National Museum is proudly housed in the historic Old Courts Building, one of the few surviving nineteenth-century structures on the Islands. For over 180 years, this iconic building has stood at the heart of George Town, serving as a landmark and a beacon for returning seamen—long before the lighthouse was built, a lantern was hoisted nightly on its flagpole to guide ships safely home.
