People's Museum of Craft & Technology

The People's Museum showcases the creative industry of emancipated Jamaicans, as they fashioned a new life for themselves in villages across Jamaica despite impossible odds. It was originally created in 1961 as the Folk Museum in the grounds of the Old King's House on Spanish Town Square, where the Emancipation Proclamation was read out. The museum is scheduled to be re-opened in 2018, and will feature a refurbished exhibition space.
