Cape Verdean Museum

Our museum, a 501(c)3 founded in 2000 with an East Providence location that opened in 2005, celebrates the history of the islands and the communities of those hardworking people who made the United States their home. We accomplish this through displays of maps, artifacts, archeological discoveries, photographs, artwork and many other types of items, as well as with our current library, the largest of any Cape Verdean collection in the U.S., which includes rare books, family mementos and historical documents that many visitors find engaging.
