External Exhibits

As part of its outreach programme, the Museum works to broaden its presence in our communities through partnerships with fellow institutions.

Our Medical History

In 2007, Cayman Brac Museum Supervisor, Mrs. Wanda Tatum, and, Curator, Felicia McFarlane, approached the National Museum for assistance with developing an exhibition for their newly created west wing gallery.

This exhibit offers a cursory examination of the medical history of our islands' and women's roles in medical care. The exhibit also features Cayman Brackers in the industry.

A first for the small community Museum, is the inclusion of an audio visual presentation detailing a brief history of the Faith Hospital by Vanderlin Dilbert .  Another first is a section designed for children, with art and graphics by Simone Scott.  Led by Debra Barnes-Tabora, the team of Richard Nelson and Joseph Douglas designed, constructed and installed the exhibition.  http://www.gov.ky/portal/page?_pageid=1142,2104198&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
