Grenada National Museum, set in a former French barracks and later British prison in St. George's, offers a compact but rich journey through the island's history. Exhibits span from the indigenous Carib and Arawak peoples to the colonial era and independence. Visitors can see original sugar-making equipment, a bathtub belonging to Empress Josephine (born in Martinique but connected to Grenada), and artifacts from the 1983 U.S. intervention. The museum provides context for understanding Grenada's cultural heritage in about an hour.
