Built in the 1860s and housed in the historic and beautifully restored Villa Doyle, the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas is home to the National Collection of Bahamian Art. While the collection concentrates mainly on Bahamian artists, visitors can also see exhibits of late 20th-century sculpture, ceramics, paintings, photography, textiles, and other mixed media.
Permanent displays are housed on the ground floor of the gallery while the upper floors of the museum showcase the history of Bahamian Art and Visual culture as well as temporary exhibitions of experimental contemporary art practice and contemporary movements. The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas also offers comprehensive community and educational programs, art education workshops, and a free public art library.
