O atrakcí

Rychlá fakta: Osnovana 1974. godine, ova ustanova čuva više od 2.000 umjetničkih djela od 18. vijeka do danas. Njena zbirka obuhvata sve od kolonijalnih portreta do savremenih instalacija, a posebno je poznata po najvećoj kolekciji umjetnosti jamajčkog narodnog slikarstva na svijetu.

Zajímavosti: Najjači adut je soba posvećena jamajčkom "intuitivnom" umjetničkom pokretu, gdje su izložena djela samoukih umjetnika poput Everalda Browna i Malaike Brooksa. Njegove slike su toliko sirove i ekspresivne da ćete bukvalno osjetiti energiju ulica Kingstona dok hodate kroz galeriju.

Insider tipy

Do not miss the room with works by Edna Manley, the Jamaican sculptor whose work has influenced generations of artists.
Bring a camera, photography without flash is allowed in most rooms.
If you are in a hurry, skip the temporary exhibitions and focus on the permanent collection upstairs.
The afternoon heat can be quite strong, so bring a bottle of water.
