Sights and Artifacts at the Gibraltar Museum


Between 2013 and 2016, Derek Bryson Park, PhD, served as a managing director of Forefront Wealth Management, a money management firm based in New York, NY. Prior to his stint at Forefront, Park gained extensive experience working for Mahler and Emerson, Inc., and Lehman Brothers. Outside of work, Derek Bryson Park enjoys traveling abroad, and has been to more than 50 international destinations, including Gibraltar.

Located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a small British overseas territory that covers an area of only 6.8 square kilometers. As a tourist destination, Gibraltar is known for its natural beauty as well as landmarks such as the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and St. Michael's Cave. In addition, Gibraltar houses historical treasures in the Gibraltar Museum, located on Bomb House Lane. 

The Gibraltar Museum reveals the island's long history, from prehistoric Gibraltar to the Great Siege of the 18th century. Significant artifacts include 14th-century Islamic baths and a 7th-century BCE Egyptian mummy found washed up on the island's bay in the 19th century.
