The overall idea of the Terramar Museum is to tell the stories behind historical objects by staging encounters with local habitants of the Caribbean in different historical times. Amerindian talk about their first encounters with a European colonialists, a slave talks about the harsh life on the plantations. Through a combination of historical artefacts, fascinating stories and interactive experiences, history comes to life at Terramar Museum.
