We Tour the Albert Lowe Museum on Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas

In 1975, artist and Green Turtle Cay native Alton Lowe purchased a 150-year old Loyalist home in New Plymouth – one of the few to survive the devastating 1932 hurricane – and spent more than a year restoring the structure. In 1976, surrounded by Bahamian, Canadian, American and British dignitaries and hundreds of visitors and well-wishers, he opened the first historic museum in the Bahamas.

Named in honour of Alton’s father, a well-known model ship maker, the Albert Lowe Museum’s purpose is to document and preserve Bahamian history and serve as an educational tool for the nation’s children. Through an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, antiques, photographs, documents and rare Lucayan artifacts, it brings to life hundreds of years of local and national history. - AlbertLoweMuseum.com

A majority of this video was shot in July of 2021. The pace of life, and the knowledge of how hard it would be to piece together, meant procrastination set in. However, we shot some follow-up video in January 2022 when we were back on the cay for New Year’s which provided a great insight into the work being done. AND, I was also back on the island in February 2022 and already have more to share. Thanks for watching this video as we tour the Albert Lowe Museum.
