National Gallery of Jamaica, Art museum in Kingston, Jamaica

The National Gallery of Jamaica occupies the Kingston Mall, a commercial and cultural complex on Kingston Harbour. Its collection began with 237 paintings and drawings and 25 sculptures transferred from the Institute of Jamaica, and now centres on Jamaican artists such as John Dunkley, Edna Manley, Barrington Watson and Mallica "Kapo" Reynolds. A branch, National Gallery West, operates in Montego Bay.

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 gallery's 1979 exhibition Intuitive Eye, curated by David Boxer, introduced the term 'Intuitive art' for self-taught Jamaican artists such as Mallica 'Kapo' Reynolds and Everald Brown. The inaugural Annual National Exhibition opened on 13 October 1977, replacing the All Island and Self-Taught Artist shows held at the Institute of Jamaica.

The gallery occupies the Kingston Mall on the Kingston waterfront, in the same downtown area it moved to in 1982. The Edna Manley Galleries, opened on 1 March 2000, hold the Edna Manley Memorial Collection and are a separate section to look for. The building is a commercial and cultural centre, so entrances are shared with other businesses.

The gallery's 1979 exhibition "Intuitive Eye", curated by David Boxer, introduced the term "Intuitive art" for self-taught Jamaican painters and sculptors such as Mallica "Kapo" Reynolds and Everald Brown. The label shaped how Jamaican art outside academic training has been discussed ever since.
