NMB waives admission fee for the month

National Museum of Bermuda’s Free for February (Image supplied)

The public has been given free access the National Museum of Bermuda throughout February for the twelfth consecutive year of its Free for February campaign.

Elena Strong, the museum’s executive director, credited RenaissanceRe and Butterfield Bank for the funding needed.

She added: “At NMB, we aim to make learning Bermuda history part of every educational journey on Island.

“Eliminating the barrier of admission allows for increased access for residents to engage with and explore Bermuda’s complex and diverse past.

“Also, non-profit and private partnerships like this are essential as we carry out our work as a vital community education resource.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to Dockyard this month.”

The museum features permanent fixtures covering many points of Bermuda’s heritage, including cultural links to the West Indies and the Azores, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and Bermuda’s maritime and naval history.

A temporary art exhibit, STONE: From Bermuda to Charleston, explores the effect that Bermuda limestone had on South Carolina’s architecture.

Visitors can pick up tickets for a family scavenger hunt at the NMB ticket office and enter a weekly raffle for a free family membership.

The month-long programme will extend to the museum’s community day on February 23, which will include food vendors, interactive arts and crafts activities, games and a family yoga class.

The community day will take place between 10am and 3pm. Attendees must show proof of residency, such as a driver’s licence or utility bill.
