Family Getaway: Seven Arches Museum

What was once private haven of Philibert Fluck and Barbara Demaras but later on turned into a public tourist attraction as well, the Seven Arches Museum got its name from the supportive arches of its majestic wood staircase in the house front. As the museum welcomes every visitor with its attractive and lively courtyard, tropical drinks are also available in the garden site.

Located a block north of the Lieutenant Governor’s House on Government Hill, this restored house is decorated with West Indian furniture and antiques from different prominent families that used to inhabit the house. Some truly impressive collections are the Indian canopy bed made of mahogany, century plant Christmas tree, coins, stationeries, kitchen dishes and stamps.

A registered Virgin Island landmark, this yellow-colored brick museum also offers a wonderful view of the Charlotte Amalie harbor. If you decided to give this place a thorough look, you better check out the slave quarters and traditional outdoor kitchen.
