About Us
The Indian African Caribbean (INAFCA) Museum, was created for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a space, which would help Jamaicans realize that they are descended from a people who have a rich cultural heritage.
In March 1966, Dr. Aston Taylor, opened a museum of his private collection of over 700 artefacts from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, which he called INAFCA, at 60 Lady Musgrave Road. Upon his death in September 1969, he bequeathed a large portion of his private collection to The Mico University College, his Alma Mata.
Today, the INAFCA Museum collects, studies, conserves, and presents artefacts and works of art that explores African, Asian and Caribbean cultures. The collection reflects the mixed ethnic background of the Jamaican experience, and currently contains objects ranging from ceremonial use such as masks, musical instruments, swords and spears, to domestic and personal items such as furniture, utensils, combs and jewelry
