Cricket Legends of Barbados


A must for cricket fans, this museum is the best of its kind in the Caribbean. The walls are plastered with press clippings and there are many interesting artifacts from the game. The rear wall downstairs features an impressive roll call of Barbados' many great cricketers. Large groups can even get one of the legends to show them around.
