National Art Gallery of the Bahamas

National Art Gallery of the Bahamas Review

Opened in July 2003, the museum houses the works of esteemed Bahamian artists such as Max Taylor, Amos Ferguson, Brent Malone, John Cox, and Antonius Roberts. The glorious Italianate-colonial mansion, built in 1860 and restored in the 1990s, has double-tiered verandas with elegant columns. It was the residence of Sir William Doyle, the first chief justice of the Bahamas. Join locals on the lawn for movie night under the stars; call for schedule. Don't miss the museum's gift shop, where you'll find books about the Bahamas and Bahamian quilts, prints, ceramics, jewelry and crafts.
