Sint Maarten National Heritage Museum Philipsburg Scavenger Hunt

Sint Maarten National Heritage Museum Philipsburg Scavenger Hunt

nov 6, 2024

The Sint Maarten National Heritage Museum has developed a scavenger hunt in Philipsburg that takes participants along the most iconic monumental buildings of the old inner city. This scavenger hunt is ideal for groups of 3 – 6 people and can be offered as a competition for up to 8 teams simultaneously.

Some prior knowledge of the city’s layout and history is needed, so the scavenger hunt is ideal for students 12 – 15 or 15 years and older. The scavenger hunt can be organized in combination with a visit to the museum. In a playful, interactive way, the students will pick up information about the history and heritage of their island.
