National Art Gallery of the Bahamas

About

The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) is an art museum located in Nassau, The Bahamas. It was the first institution of its kind in the country's history. Announced in 1996 by then-Prime Minister Hubert A. Ingraham, NAGB was part of a broader effort to record, preserve, and interpret the narrative of the independent, sovereign nation established in 1973.

NAGB is a non-profit, quasi-governmental institution that collects, preserves, exhibits, and interprets Bahamian art. The museum is partially funded by a government subvention but is independently overseen by a board of directors. It also relies on public and private support, including admission fees, memberships, donations, and other contributions. Its programming includes exhibitions, community outreach, access programmes, and educational workshops.
