Get your creative juices flowing by taking a trip to The National Gallery. Located on Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Kingston, The Gallery is a source of inspiration and wonder.

Some of the Collections housed by the National Gallery include: The Edna Manley Collection, The Cecil Baugh Collection, The Pre-20th Century Collection, The Twentieth Century Collection, The Matalon Collection and The Photography Collection.

The National Gallery charts the growth and development of Jamaica’s greatest artistic endeavours, from Taino Indian artefacts to Spanish and English colonial art, from the early pioneers to the very latest contemporary works by Jamaican artists.

All of Jamaican life is shown in our collections: from the depiction of rural Jamaican life and landscape, to the people and work of the city; from religious visions, history and social criticism to portraiture, tradition, fantasy and folklore.

See the works of Jamaica’s most famous artists, including Mallica ‘Kapo’ Reynolds, Barrington Watson, Albert Huie, Carl Abrahams, John Dunkley, Edna Manley and many more.

The National Gallery staff can provide a comprehensive overview of the development of Jamaican art, including mainstream and intuitive (self-taught) art. [source: galleryjamaica.org]
