Guide to Museums

The National Museum and Art Gallery in Port of Spain holds collections of art, history and natural history. In Tobago, the Tobago Museum sits within Fort King George above Scarborough. Smaller museums, such as estate and community museums, show local life, crafts and industry.

Many museums are small and run by dedicated teams, so hours can change around public holidays and special events. School groups and tours may book ahead.

The Diego Martin region encompasses Trinidad's extensive northwest suburban corridor, stretching from Port of Spain's western edge through Diego Martin valley to the Chaguaramas peninsula. The region combines dense residential communities with commercial centres, waterfront recreation areas, and access to beaches and hiking trails. Diego Martin serves as one of Trinidad's most populated areas, offering comprehensive services, diverse dining, retail shopping, and professional facilities throughout multiple sub-communities. The region benefits from well-developed infrastructure connecting to Port of Spain while maintaining distinct neighbourhood identities. Chaguaramas adds maritime services, outdoor recreation, and tourism appeal to the region's primarily residential and commercial character. Diego Martin continues to evolve with new retail investments, residential developments, and infrastructure improvements that strengthen its position as a major component of Trinidad's urban northwest corridor.
