National Museum of Bermuda
The National Museum of Bermuda, housed within the fort in The Keep at the Royal Naval Dockyard and encompassing the beautifully restored 19th-century Commissioner's House, has a massive collection of artifacts and exhibits that delve into Bermuda's maritime history. The fort, which was built to protect the entire naval base, has seven bastions and ramparts. In eight historic exhibit buildings, visitors can learn about shipwrecks, battles, and other topics.
The Commissioner's House, the Western Hemisphere's oldest cast iron frame residential building, transports you back in time with authentic period furniture and exhibits on the island's military history. Don't miss the incredible Hall of History mural, which takes up all four walls of a room in the house and was created by Bermudian artist Graham Foster.
Grab a bite to eat and relax on the wraparound veranda while admiring the panoramic views of the island and the Atlantic Ocean. The adorable sheep grazing on the grounds are the best part.
