Tietoa

Nopeat faktat: Osnovana 1974. godine, ova ustanova čuva više od 2.000 umetničkih dela od 18. veka do danas. Njena zbirka obuhvata sve od kolonijalnih portreta do savremenih instalacija, a posebno je poznata po najvećoj kolekciji umetnosti jamajčkog narodnog slikarstva na svetu.

Kohokohdat: Najjači adut je soba posvećena jamajčkom "intuitivnom" umetničkom pokretu, gde su izložena dela samoukih umetnika poput Everalda Brauna i Malaike Brooksa. Njegove slike su toliko sirove i ekspresivne da ćete bukvalno osetiti energiju ulica Kingstona dok hodate kroz galeriju.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

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.
