Terramar Museum

Bonaire


This small museum provides an overview of the history and archaeology of Bonaire. There's an assortment of artifacts, accompanied by audio clips that put a voice to the historical narrative. In the front room, an impressive timeline and video demonstrate how peoples have moved around the Caribbean region over the centuries.

Guided tours are available, and the museum also contains temporary local art exhibitions and a gift shop.
