"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."
"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."
