House of Culture Description
The House of Culture was built in 1814 and is one of Belize City's oldest buildings. Up until Belizean independence from the British Commonwealth in 1981, this building was known as the Government House and was the residence of the governor-general. At this site, the Belizean flag was raised for the first time on September 21, 1981.

Today, the furniture and tableware from the former residence is displayed along with historical photographs and occasional special exhibits. One of Baron Bliss' boats is displayed in the garden. The House of Culture sustained damage from two hurricanes, first in 1931 and again in 1961 (Hurricane Hattie).
