South Georgia Museum

The South Georgia Museum is located in Grytviken, the administrative center of the British overseas territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

The museum is housed in the 1916 built and now renovated former house of the head of the whaling station. The Georgia Museum was established in 1992 as a whaling museum and expanded its exhibitions in the consequence also on issues such as the discovery of the island, seal hunting, marine and natural history as well as the Falklands War of 1982.

Today, the museum is a popular tourist destination that is frequented by cruise or yacht tourists. Some years were Tim and Pauline Carr as curators, while they lived on their yacht anchored in the bay Curlew. Meanwhile, however, they have moved away.
