"The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas occupies the historic Villa Doyle, a colonial-era home from 1860,at the corner of Hill and West Hill streets, across from the U.S. Embassy. The gallery offers a unique look at Bahamian history and culture through the art of its people. The ground floor hosts the museum’s permanent exhibits, while the upstairs has a pair of temporary exhibit spaces that change regularly. The museum is open every day except Mondays and holidays; admission is $10 for international visitors, while kids under 12 are free."

A Local’s Guide to the Bahamas

"The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas opened in 2003 and changed the landscape of the cultural art scene because it gave us a space dedicated to local art and to letting tourists appreciate it. The curators do a beautiful job. It is inside the former home of the chief justice of the Bahamas. It is not big, but it has excellent shows."

It's a small gallery that used to be the home of the governor (or someone in government). There were a few exhibits when we visited. Some of the old photos were pretty cool. There were some good paintings and drawings as well. A few things, like a stack of wood, I don't consider art, but that's just MHO. We wouldn't go back though.

A fairly good sized venue. Quite an eclectic collection. Many of the same artists were represented over and over. But there were some really good works presented. Many areas did not allow photos though.

Only the exterior grounds were open when we visited. The art walk is nice. Be aware that it is a well maintained and marked trail but pretty rugged. Wheelchairs and stroller would not work out well. There are lovely sculptures along trails. There is also a lot of trees and local Flora and fauna to view. It does seem to be a work in progress still. If doing a walking tour this should be included.

This was my favorite stop in Nassau. I was very impressed with the exhibition A Small Remainder of Teeth! I'm very appreciative of the artists and the messaging. Best wishes for the Bahamian people and thank you.

I have been to Nassau a few times via a cruise ship. On this visit, I discovered the National Art Gallery. My wife and I were very impressed. The museum features local artists, all very impressive. If you’re looking for something more interesting than the same-old souvenir shops, check out the Gallery. You’ll see a whole different perspective of The Bahamas. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk from the cruise terminal.

Intriguing collection in a beautiful building. As expected, some of the collection makes you shake your head, but there were a number of pieces that really hit home for me (the wading pool, the customer service piece, and the human skin rug in particular!)

The National Art Gallery is opened again. And has presented wonderfully, the art of Tampa based Bahamian artist, Kendra Frorup "The Whimsical Collector". All the gallery spaces display her wonderful work spanning a couple decades. You will enjoy this meditative and indeed whimsical collection. There is sure to be several pieces that enchant you. Highly recommend a visit. Parking on the grounds, inside the gates was available. And there's even an EV Charging Station parking spot. The entrance was free - not sure if that was for locals. Gallery staff were welcoming and pleasant. The Art Park and garden spaces were open for strolling and wandering. P.S. Based on observation, I believe EVERY Bahamian Art Gallery venue has a Junkanoo art piece at their entrances. 😀

It was an awesome experience for my sons and myself. Alot of Bahamian artists I didn't know have beautiful art pieces in there. Its spacious, properly ventilated, 2 storey sits on a beautiful landscape and also has trail for you to explore.Was happy to visit it on a Sunday. (Free to locals on Sundays) I would encourage persons to visit.
