Entrance

History

Built between 1854 and 1857[1] as a Her Majesty’s Prison while the area was still a British colony, it was a replacement for a wooden prison nearby. It was the Belize City Prison until 1993, when prisoners were then transferred to the Hattieville Prison[2]

In 2002, it was restored and renovated into a national museum.

Exhibitions

It features exhibits of Maya artifacts and explores some 3,000 years of Maya history, the prison's history, colonial life, and cultural exhibits of the many ethnic groups of the nation.

gollark: Can Milo be modified to not need introspection modules?
gollark: Excellent.
gollark: Does 1.16.5 CC have item movement features built in? There is no Plethora.
gollark: DRM = digital rights management. It appears that you are going down the dark path of trying to run software on users' computers without them being able to alter/observe it.
