Our Story
Dolphin House Museum
A Bahamian national treasure and landmark, established in 1993 and still under construction to complete the third floor, the Dolphin House Museum a “Poem In Stone” is a dolphin and ocean-inspired museum and residence built by hand over the last 28 years using recycled, salvaged, and donated materials by award-winning Bahamian author, historian, retired teacher, and local Biminite Ashley Saunders. Visitors of the DH will enjoy walking tours conducted by Mr. Saunders, who has written two history books on Bimini’s archipelago available for purchase at the museum's island-style souvenir shop The Shabby Chic Boutique. The DH is Bimini's most unique and artistic structure inspired by Mr. Saunders swimming with a pod of wild Bimini dolphins. “I consider myself a dolphin inspired artist, the dolphins touched my heart and made me an artist.” - Ashley Saunders
