World Spice Museum

The establishment of a World Spice Museum in Grenada.

Grenada, fondly known as the "Spice Isle," is globally recognised for its rich heritage in spice cultivation, particularly nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and cloves. To celebrate, preserve, and promote this legacy, we propose the establishment of a World Spice Museum in The Carenage, St. George’s, one of the most picturesque and historically rich waterfronts in the Caribbean.

This museum will serve as a cultural, educational, and tourism hub, showcasing the global history, uses, trade, and cultural impact of spices, with Grenada as its epicentre.

 

 

Vision of this project:

An institution that celebrates the cultural, economic, and culinary significance of spices, while positioning Grenada as a leading destination for spice education and spice tourism.

To enhance the experience, the museum's primary exhibit will be a 16th century Spanish galleon replica, to house the museum, situated in the water at The Carenage, in the heart of the city of St George’s.

Objectives of this project:

  1. Preserve and present the history of spice cultivation and trade globally, with a special focus on Grenada.
  2. Educate locals and visitors about the role of spices in global cuisine, medicine, rituals, and its social and economic impact. 
  3. Serve as a research and innovation hub for sustainable spice agriculture and product development.
  4. Stimulate local economic growth through increased cultural tourism and partnerships with local artisans and spice producers.
