Exhibition | ‘Staying’ put after disaster: life after Hurricane Irma in Barbuda

Since then the government has pressurised Barbudans to leave the island so that lucrative private tourist resorts can be built.  The local population is determined to stay put and defend their ways of life and right to live on their island.

In this exhibition you’ll hear from local Barbudans, describing their visions of how the island should be recovered and why they choose to stay, despite cripplingly slow recovery programmes.

Suitable for all ages.

Please note the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
