Museums

Something to Explore for Everyone

The Cape has over 83 museums to explore, including larger ones like the Cape Cod Museum of Art and Heritage Museums & Gardens, and dozens of smaller, more intimate museums and historical societies with intriguing story to tell about the region’s rich heritage.

Cape Cod has cultural and recreational activities for any age or interest. Combine that with a long history as one of America’s oldest settled regions, and it’s no wonder the area is bristling with museums. Museum hopping is the perfect rainy-day (or otherwise) activity for history, art and culture buffs visiting the Cape. Some are open seasonally, some year-round, and all have something informative and interesting waiting for you.
