5.00This was an amazing experience well worth the price of admission. There is an open bar throughout the experience which adds to the fun. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable. The owner took time to give us a detailed description of the items. Would highly recommend checking this out while you’re in Saint Marteen.
Worth Visiting

5.00I visited the museum today 1/26 as part of a cruise excursion and it was a great experience. The owner and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The costumes were very unique and the museum gave the history begin each one. You also have an opportunity to try on a portion of a costume and take a picture. To top it off, it’s an open bar and the rum punch is delicious. The facility has clean restrooms and head pieces for sale. It’s definitely worth visiting.
ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE!

5.00We recently traveled to Saint Maarten to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday, and without question, We Culture The Carnival Experience was the highlight of our entire trip. From start to finish, it was nothing short of AMAZING. Cynthia and Abigale were outstanding—warm, knowledgeable, fun, and truly passionate about sharing the history and heart of carnival culture. We booked the guided tour to learn more about how carnival began and how this unique business came to life. The story was incredibly informative, especially hearing about the owner’s mother, originally from Trinidad, whose love for carnival inspired everything. During the tour, we even had the chance to meet the owner himself and hear him speak so lovingly about his mother, who has since passed. It was touching to see how he honored her legacy by bringing her dream to life through this amazing experience. The unlimited rum punch definitely didn’t hurt either! And the grand finale—trying on the carnival costumes—was an absolute blast. We took tons of pictures and videos and felt like we were part of the carnival ourselves. This experience left such a mark on me that I’ve already decided to celebrate my own 50th birthday in St. Maarten—and We Culture will definitely be part of the celebration. I’m planning to reach out to them for another tour and even a pool party at their establishment. If you’re in St. Maarten, do yourself the favor and BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. It is truly worth every moment!
Enjoyable and facinating experience

5.00A nice infusion of Caribbean culture into a small island trip. The place is a museum of the Carnival tradition in the Caribbean. The owner Gerald Hart is very passionate and knowledgeable about his peoples culture. Much work and creativity went into making the costumes and the decor of this museum. Open bar, could not have been more accommodating, a unique party venue. Amazingly hospitable. A must visit on your stay at Maho beach or a brief visit to the island.
We’re so GLAD we came!

5.00We had an amazing time this past week visiting this museum. Cynthia and Abby were super friendly from the moment we walked in. They were extremely knowledgeable about the history of carnival and how the costumes (mas) are made. We loved that it was an immersive experience that allowed you to touch the pieces while having a nice top shelf open bar! They had art pieces, as well as instruments, they even had me try on a set of wings with a headpiece. We never felt rushed and they allowed us to take our time after the guided tour. Having Dominican roots knowing only a little about carnival, this really was great time where we had fun but also learned a lot. 10/10!
Don’t skip this one

5.00Such a wonderful experience, we learned a lot and the costumes the owner (I think his name was Jared) makes are works of art. The staff were amazing as well.
A Carnival Experience You Can’t Miss!

5.00I traveled to St. Maarten at the end of Carnival in May, thinking I had missed out on the full celebration. But stepping into We Culture Caribbean Carnival History Experience Museum made up for it—and more! Gerald Hart, the passionate owner and director, personally led our tour, sharing an authentic, in-depth look into the island’s Carnival traditions. From stunning costumes to immersive storytelling, every moment was crafted to make us feel like we were truly part of the experience. His staff (Two beautiful and kind young ladies) was equally amazing—knowledgeable, welcoming, and eager to share their love for Carnival. One of the highlights was the time we spent after the tour, discussing even more history with Gerald and his team. Their dedication to preserving and sharing this cultural gem is inspiring. 🌟 If you're visiting St. Maarten, this museum is a must-visit. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a Carnival enthusiast, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the heart and soul of the island.
Museum & history lovers - this is for you!

5.00It was our lucky day! We went early so it was chill & the owner was there and had the time to join the tour and give additional historical facts, tell us about his family & their heritage, the costumes he's done - I love stories so this was an excellent experience. They do have an open bar with admission but since we were booked so early we didn't drink much. They let us try on the costumes & take pictures and take a decorative headband home. Highly recommend.
Super experience!
