Haymans Market
About This Museum
Haymans Market isn't your typical hushed museum; it's a living, breathing institution where commerce and culture have been intertwined for generations. The air itself is thick with the scent of sugar, spices, and history, telling a story far richer than any placard could. You won't find artifacts locked away in glass cases here. Instead, the collection is the market itself—the worn wooden counters, the vintage scales, and the very goods that have lined its shelves for decades.
Collection Highlights
The real highlights are the timeless staples: burlap sacks of aromatic Bajan seasonings, neatly stacked tins of treacly Barbados molasses, and vibrant displays of local rum. It’s a working archive of daily island life.
Visitor Information
Come ready to engage all your senses. Chat with the staff, sample a tart tamarind ball, and don't leave without a bottle of their legendary hot pepper sauce—it’s a truly authentic souvenir.
Architecture & Building
Housed in its original factory building, it's a no-frills space of practical coral stone and timber that feels both historic and completely functional.
