Corbin Local Wildlife
About This Museum
You'd never guess that one of the Caribbean's most intimate natural history collections is tucked away in a converted farmhouse down a quiet Tobago lane. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the curated notebook of a deeply passionate local naturalist. The air hums with the gentle whir of fans, and the space is alive with the vibrant chaos of the island itself. It’s a wonderfully personal and immersive dive into the ecosystem right outside its doors.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the impossibly iridescent Blue-crowned Motmot specimen, posed as if it just landed on a branch. The real showstopper, however, is their 'Tobago at Night' exhibit—a dark room where you can press buttons to hear the distinct, echoing calls of frogs and nightjars.
Visitor Information
It's small, so you can easily see everything in under an hour—perfect for a rainy day or a break from the beach. Just be sure to call ahead, as hours can be flexible.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a charming, no-frills building that feels more like a spacious, rustic cottage than a museum, with simple wooden walls and a corrugated metal roof.
