Mt. Rich Petroglyphs
About This Museum
People come to the Mt. Rich Petroglyphs not for air-conditioned halls, but for a direct, humbling connection with Grenada's earliest inhabitants. You'll follow a short, lush trail to find these ancient carvings—spirals, faces, and mysterious geometric shapes—etched directly into the volcanic rockface by the Carib people centuries ago. It’s not a huge site, but standing there, tracing the grooves with your eyes, you feel the weight of history. This is an open-air gallery where the art is the island itself.
Collection Highlights
The main draws are the petroglyph panels themselves, featuring a prominent human-like figure and intricate spiral motifs carved into a large rock surface.
Visitor Information
It's best to go with a local guide; they bring the stories behind the carvings to life and you'll learn so much more. The path can be a bit rugged, so wear proper shoes!
Architecture & Building
There is no traditional building here—the 'museum' is the natural landscape itself, with the ancient rock formations serving as the canvas.
