PLACES OF INTEREST in Bermuda
Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art Located in the lush Botanical Gardens, this art museum has 16,000 square feet in which it displays 1,400 pieces of artwork, inspired by Bermuda, in three galleries. Although rotating exhibits show local artists, permanent ones include works by well-known artists such as Winslow Homer, Albert Gleizes and Georgia O’Keeffe. There is also a café and gift shop located in the museum building. Spittal Pond Nature Reserve Spittal Pond Nature Reserve is the largest of Bermuda’s protected areas and consists of wildlife-rich wetlands through which there are numerous hiking trails. The reserve stretches along Bermuda’s southern shoreline with one winding trail leading to a viewing site which provides spectacular views of the island’s southern coast. On the trail, more than 30 different species of waterfowl may be spotted as well as other wildlife. Photo Credit: Elizabeth JK BERMUDA
