National Gallery of Jamaica

The National Gallery of Jamaica is an art museum in Kingston housing paintings, sculptures, and contemporary works spread across multiple exhibition spaces. The collection features artistic works spanning different periods and mediums.

The museum was established in 1974 at Devon House, starting with hundreds of works by local artists. This founding created an important center for Jamaican art documentation and preservation.

The museum displays work by many Jamaican artists and reflects a deep connection to Caribbean artistic identity.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday and housed in a historic building that is walkable and easy to access. Visitors should allow time to explore the different exhibition rooms at a comfortable pace.

The museum operates a branch in Montego Bay that brings art exhibitions to another region of the island. This expansion makes art accessible to people across different parts of Jamaica.
