National Museum and Art Gallery, Cultural institution in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
The National Museum and Art Gallery consists of seven galleries exhibiting petroleum, geology, national art collections, and Trinidad's Carnival arts at Frederick Street.
Founded in 1892 as the Royal Victoria Institute, the building suffered a devastating fire in 1920, leaving only external walls before reopening in 1923.
The museum collection includes valuable paintings by Michel-Jean Cazabon and manages approximately 10,000 artifacts representing Trinidad and Tobago's heritage.
The museum includes an audio-visual room for educational programs and maintains branch locations at Fort San Andrés, Police Headquarters, and Eric Williams Financial Plaza.
An anchor, discovered in 1877 and believed to belong to Christopher Columbus's ships, was presented to the museum on March 9, 1912.
