Overview

The island's largest gallery has 18 sub-galleries arranged over 25,000 square feet of floor space. The gallery was first established in November 1974 at Devon House, Kingston's most famous Great House, but after eight years, it was transferred to its present location in the Kingston Mall. There are eight permanent exhibitions, including a pre-20th-century collection of historical artifacts that can be traced back to before the 1400s. There is also an international collection containing works from various countries. Admission runs about JMD50 for adults, JMD10 for children, less for children with school ID.

Def worth the money and time!by Yahoo | 2007-06-20 20:55:41 |

It was super cheap to enter (something like 50 J$ for students - which is less than 1US$) There was some very intersting and beautiful pieces as well as a walk through cultural object which was awesome! I would highly reccomend visiting the gallery!

It was interesting. I saw some amazing things that were fascinating. The atmosphere made me feel like i was in a retaurant instead of a gallery. The Bob Marley sculpture was very amazing.
