Parliament Buildings and the National Heroes Gallery

The Parliament Buildings are the third-oldest in the Commonwealth and were constructed in 1871. The Senate and House of Assembly are housed in these neo-Gothic buildings. The museum honors Barbados' long history of democracy.

There is a gallery of national heroes in addition to the Museum of Parliament. For their contributions to bringing about positive change in Barbados, the nation's heroes have been honored. Bussa, Sarah Ann Gill, a Methodist who promoted religious tolerance in Barbados, and Errol Walton Barrow, regarded as the island's "father of independence," are among those honored.

The cleverly placed interactive panels provide concise explanations for the dramatic, moving sculptures made by Barbadian and Caribbean artists. Exceptional icons cleverly represent the heroes. Without a doubt, these emblems creatively depict the traits, contributions, and circumstances of each hero's life.

All ages will enjoy visiting the Museum of Parliament and the National Heroes Gallery because to the inventive use of interactive audio and video and the superb, high-quality exhibits. The Museum of Parliament charts the evolution of democracy in Barbados from 1629 to the present, as well as the contribution of the island's residents to this development.
