I visited this museum while my husband stayed in the hotel. This museum has a lot of information about the slaves in the Bahamas and how the country came to be what it is today. You have the option to do two floors for $16.50 or just one for $5. It was small and a lot of reading panels with few artifacts. It was; however, enjoyable for the $5 I spent.

If you're looking for a small museum with a big story to tell, don't miss the Pompey Museum of Slavery & Emancipation. While the downstairs space is a bit crowded and hard to find the flow of the space, the well-designed content is filled with stories that tell amazing - albeit disheartening accounts of enslavement in the Bahamas. Colorful and easy-to read displays fill about two-third of the space. A row of info-packed touchscreens engage visitors on contemporary issues related to enslavement and eventual emasculation. The additional fee to see the upstairs' exhibit is worth the price - as it tells the story of the early/original inhabitants: the Lucayans. It's spacious layout felt almost sacred. My husband and I regularly visit museums at home and when traveling. I'd rank this little museum in my top 10% favorite.

The Pompey Museum has two levels of exhibits: a permanent exhibit on slavery and emancipation in the Bahamas and a special one on the indigenous Lucuyans, who occupied the Bahamas until Columbus arrived and they were enslaved and died of diseases.
There is a lot of information here, but it’s mostly a museum of reading panels. The Lucuyan exhibit has a few pottery shards and flints, a replica barbecue and artists’ renderings of Luciyan culture. The slavery section had some disturbing manacles and coins used in slave auctions, a diorama of a shipwreck and many panels to read, as well as touchscreen monitors addressing different aspects of Bahamian history and culture. It only took 15 minutes to see the entire Lucuyan exhibit, but I spent an hour in the slavery exhibit.
The Museum is also housed in the building where they conducted slave auctions, one of the oldest in Nassau.
This was a good museum to visit on my first day in Nassau because it was so informative about the history, but it was more like reading a Wikipedia article than a true museum.

I'm a descendent of Bahamian enslaved people and this simply but powerfully presented museum got the tone exactly right. I learned so much about early Bahamians. I've always spoken my enslaved ancestors' names as often as possible - Hugh and Diana Minnis - but now I can also imagine their lives in three, colourful, respectful dimensions. I am very grateful for the work and care put into the Pompey Museum.

We paid $33 to see upstairs and downstairs and neither was worth the expense. Upstairs was definitely not worth seeing and downstairs, although a good concept, was poorly laid out and lacking in content. Wouldn’t recommend either.

Petit musée sur 2 étages. Le premier vous permet de découvrir l’histoire qu’a subit ce peuple avec l’esclavage de ceux qui sont arrivés. Et au deuxième étage, il y a l’histoire des premiers peuples qui habitaient les îles des Bahamas (Les Lucayans ) qui est extrêmement intéressant.
Il y a un prix d’entrée pour chaque étage à payer mais je vous suggère de quand même le payer car c’est très intéressant.
Il y a beaucoup de panneaux d’information pour faire les lectures et ils offrent aussi un lien Web pour un complément d’information.

This museum is chock full of information. The top floor is devoted to the Lucaya Indians (separate charge) and the main floor provides history of the island, slavery, emancipation, British rule, etc. Allow plenty of time to see it if this is of interest to you. There are a lot of displays and lots of reading. We were the only visitors while we were there.

While this museum is small and has entry fees for upstairs and downstair exhibits, it has a lot of good information about the history of Nassau and the Bahamas. Downstairs focuses on the history of slavery and emancipation and has some beautiful displays. There is a lot to info to read and the interactive screens don't work perfectly but if you want to learn some things, come here. Upstairs focuses on the Lucayans, the islands' inhabitants when Columbus arrived. This was a great space to learn about them and see some artifacts of their culture.

The building that houses this Museum is a building once used to auction off slaves. It is a sobering reminder that slavery still occurs to this day. It is also a reminder of how brutal the slave trade was.
This Museum is a self-tour, mainly consisting of large information boards with pictures and descriptions of the history of slavery in the Bahamas. There are also some artifacts housed within the museum.
It is a small museum jam-packed with information!
I'm glad we visited during our trip to Nassau. It is located nearby to the Pirate's Museum.

I love history. I was excited to visit this historical landmark and beautiful, brightly colored museum. Upon attempting to enter, the lady working in the building told us it was $2 dollars, however, she was then told by the man who did not work there (who had driven us there in the taxi )it was $5 dollars to enter per person. I found this odd but we paid it and entered. She told us she would have to go get us to change. I said that is fine. She also told us to look around and that was it. She returned but never attempted to talk to us about anything or provide insight about the museum. The museum had a nice bookstore area but other than a few actual artifacts that caught my eye it was mostly giant reading panels with illustrations. If I counted right they barely had 5 actual artifacts on display. Not my idea of a museum. I guess the taxi guy got himself a cut of the money we paid and I would def like to speak to management about that. Disappointed.
