À propos

Faits rapides: 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.

Points forts: Son principal atout est la salle dédiée au mouvement artistique "intuitif" jamaïcain, où sont exposées les oeuvres d'artistes autodidactes tels qu'Everald Brown et Malaika Brooks. Ses tableaux sont si bruts et expressifs que vous ressentirez littéralement l'énergie des rues de Kingston en traversant la galerie.

Conseils d'initiés

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.
