The Institute of Jamaica (IOJ), established in 1879 was the first organization of its kind in the Caribbean. Founded by the then governor, Sir Anthony Musgrave “for the encouragement of Literature, Science and Art”. “Once the sole agency for the promotion and preservation of Jamaican culture, there are now some 20 registered museums on the Island, and even more unregistered smaller focused museums”, states Dr. Rebecca Tortello in her article: “Pieces of the Past”.
