Museums and the Dutch Caribbean are not what one would call synonymous, but if you have some spare time then this museum in the centre of upper town Oranjestad is worth a visit. The St. Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum is located in the Simon Docker House, one of the oldest and most beautiful houses on the island. If you ever wondered how the upper-class lived and worked three centuries ago, come and take a look at a handful of rooms filled with mahogany furniture, historic artefacts, ceramics and other interesting items. The method of displaying these objects isn't exactly what one would call modern, but the prehistoric archaeology section is fascinating. The 'Granny Statia' room which illustrates the ‘quiet and boring life’ Europeans enjoyed in their heyday is also of interest.
