A small, but very carefully presented collection of Bahamanian art and artisans. The presentation is exceptional. The biographical information provided on the artists themselves is well developed. The museum is located in an historic mansion reinforcing the exhibts themselves.

There is no admission price. There were some very interesting works on display in the main gallery. The upstairs gallery was undergoing a change, but it was worth going up just for the view. We could imagine what it was like living in this repurposed house from the wraparound veranda, with the cool breeze from the East. If you visit,... More

I did really enjoy going outside on the upstairs balcony and took in the terrific view. I did see a silent film there, which was an art exhibit, depicting various photos of the island of New Providence.... More

If you love art the national art museum of the Bahamas is an excellent value and offers some wonderful exhibits. It is only five dollars and is well worth visiting the museum for an hour or so. Also, it is right down the street from the Gray Cliff, so if you appreciate a good cigar and a nice dinner you... More
