Located in a former Jesuit college, the museum houses a collection of artifacts related to whaling, navigation, and local crafts. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved exhibits and the opportunity to learn about the island's past. The museum's standout feature is its scrimshaw collection, showcasing intricate carvings on whale teeth and bones. While some find the displays informative, others note that the museum could benefit from more English translations and interactive elements.
