Educulture Junkanoo Museum And Resource Centre
About This Museum
Believe it or not, the most vibrant spot in Nassau might just be a quiet house on West Street. The Educulture Junkanoo Museum is an unassuming pink and white building that absolutely explodes with color and rhythm once you step inside. It’s less a formal museum and more an immersive, hands-on celebration of the Bahamas' most famous festival. You'll find yourself surrounded by the dazzling spectacle of past Junkanoo costumes, feeling the infectious energy of the parade.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the 'Best of the Best' gallery, a glittering forest of past championship costumes adorned with intricate crepe paper and sequins. You can also see artists at work in the onsite workshop, creating new pieces using traditional methods.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away at 31 West St, so keep an eye out for it. The real magic happens if you call ahead—they might even let you try your hand at costume-making.
