About Cape Verdean Museum

The Cape Verdean Museum is dedicated to celebrating the history and culture of Cape Verde and Cape Verdean-Americans. The institution, the first of its kind in the country, was founded in 2000 by members of the community. Our location on Waterman Avenue in East Providence officially opened in 2005. Our goal is to preserve and to celebrate. We are here for the community today and for future generations. Families, school groups and scholars have found us a one-of-a-kind resource. We are able to tell that story because of the thoughtful gifts we have received. From family photos to ship advertisements, even the debutante ball sash and longshoreman’s hook that sit alongside gifts from the Presidents of Cape Verde, all give an important perspective on Cape Verdean history.
