The Cayman Islands National Museum strives to educate the community on the unique natural and cultural heritage of the Cayman Islands through programmes, exhibits and collections.
This month they are proud to launch a brand new Speaker Series, an exciting addition to the current educational programmes. Running every first and third Tuesday of the month, the series endeavours to provide a space where the entire Cayman community can gather to further their knowledge of Cayman and its neighbours, both past and present.
Sessions are led by a combination of well known community members and academic experts who will discuss a wide range of topics pertaining to Cayman’s history and culture.
Held in the National Museum’s Audiovisual Theatre, each session will be an intimate experience, including discussion and substantial interaction with session leaders. Anyone can attend, as sessions are suited to both those with prior knowledge of Caymanian history and culture, and those newer to the islands.
The Spring Season runs from March until May and will feature the following talks:
Catboat Club members will discuss the importance of catboats to Caymanian heritage, their role in history and the work of the club. This talk will be a two-way conversational one, so that the audience can ask questions and really engage with the discussion. This particular talk will be suitable for younger audiences as it is not academic in nature.
Talks begin at 6pm and end at approximately 7.30pm. The cost per session is $10 for the general public and $6 for members. Admittance for the season is $50 for the general public and $26 for members. Sessions include complimentary refreshments in the courtyard.
To sign up for individual talks or the full Spring Season, please call 949-8368 ext. 2025 or e-mail [email protected]. All admission payments can be made at the Cayman Islands National Museum’s Gift Shop, located on Harbour Drive between Shedden Road and Goring Avenue.
