This was a new experience for me and it was exciting to see the amount of artifacts that were made available for viewing. I admire Barbados for its pride the emanates through this collection, however better methods of preservation would be a plus. It almost seem as if the short term benefits gained from the museum is more important than its preservation. That is proven by some important information gained during the visit that pertain to this anchor below. It is said that every morning the rust chips are swept so that visitors are not aware of its deterioration. What can be done to preserve a history that is physically proven and not read? How can we improve or give more care?
This is a fascinating piece below is truly Barbadian. Using resources that come from the land to ones advantage, in this case it is the limestone, is ingenious.
I really enjoyed the two rooms that one has to look in from outside; it almost felt as if I just stepped out of a time machine and I was waiting for that moment when someone would leave another room to enter into this room. I would be the person invading his or her privacy but it would happen unknown to them.
