The Bahamas Museum of Junkanoo is as vibrant, exciting, participatory and creative as the Junkanoo parade itself! Visitors are invited to explore the more than 300 year journey of a festival that started in West Africa and found a new home, here in The Bahamas. A festival that has evolved from a private defiance of the dehumanizing effects of slavery, to a universal expression of community, exhilaration and renewal.<\/b>

In this new self-guided Museum, Junkanoo is given the spotlight it deserves. Aimed at everybody from lifelong Junkanooers and parade sponsors to tourists, the Museum is a source of education for those who don\u2019t know and a source of pride for those who do.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
