History of NAGB
Exhibition
Online exhibition
This exhibition was also presented in-person at The Suite at The Current: ECCHO.
An online exhibition exploring the 160-year history of Villa Doyle and its transformation into The Bahamas’ first and only national art gallery. From its construction in the 1860s by Sir William Doyle to its restoration in the 1990s, this digital exhibition traces the building’s journey through private ownership, colonial governance, and its eventual role as a public institution. Through archival photographs, historical documents, and architectural details, visitors can explore how this historic mansion became a space for preserving and celebrating Bahamian art and culture.
History of NAGB is organised and researched by Amaani Hepburn, Curatorial Assistant.
