I live in Tobago since 1979. My Sculpture Museum, locally called "The Castle", overlooks the Mt. Irvine Golf Course with view of the Caribbean Sea. My unique Caribbean sculptures are created from whole tree trunks.

When visiting Tobago, a Sunday visit to the Kimme Museum is a must. There you can admire the larger than life size sculptures made from oak, cedar, lime, cypress and bronze, depicting perfect portraits of the beautiful Tobagonians.

Visiting hours:
Sundays from 10.00 am - 2.00 pm.

There is an entrance fee of US 3.50 or TT20.00/person. Visits at other times can be arranged per telephone (868) 639-0257. 

Directions to the museum:
Turn off Shirvan Road toward the Mt. Irvine Hotel. Pass the Hotel and go up the hill, it is the 2nd turn on the right.
1st turn on the right is called Pine Hurst Drive and is a dead end, do not go in there unless you are walking (first track up on your left). Kimme Drive lies directly above and runs parallel to it. To reach Kimme Drive you keep going past Pine Hurst Drive, up the hill, keep strictly to the right, even when a little diversion appears on top of the hill, stick to the right and immediately there will appear a sharp turn to the right, facing down to the ocean, it is called Aurora Ave. By now you will see Kimme Drive, turn left. At the end of the short road is the Kimme Museum. See you there.

If you are interested in buying something from the collection, contact me and come visit.
