Very interesting is the museum opened in 2005, which, in addition to some relics of the Bounty and numerous possessions of its mutineers also shows the relics of the Polynesian settlement. Afterwards, stroll around the picturesque little cemetery on the northern edge of Adamstown. A marvelous view of the island is offered from the Christian's Cave, above the village.
