Spice Museum Photos can be viewed here. I took these photos while I was at the Tropical Spice Garden holding my Traditional Cooking Classes.

This large Spice Trade map and history chart graces one wall of the Spice Museum at the Tropical Spice Garden.

The main entrance to the Spice Museum.

I simply love the visit to this museum. Even though it is very small but the exhibits are very enchanting. This museum can be visited when you enter Tropical Spice Garden, it is included in part of the tour that you can do yourself. Enjoy the serene atmosphere amidst the greenery. For a moment, you are in paradise *sigh*
