Barbados Museum & Historical Society The Barbados Museum & Historical Society displays everything about Barbados. This museum is not that old since it was founded in 1933. But even then, the place is the home of at least 500,000 relics that are mostly from the land and sea of Barbados. Sir John Saint was once the president of the society handling the museum and he was an English scientist who devoted himself in agricultural chemistry and lived his life in the island. It is one of the places to visit in Barbados.
