Taking on a physical life within the walls of the NAGB, the museum offers a unique look at Bahamian history and culture through the art of its people.

“The Nation/The Imaginary”, explores juxtapositions of myth/reality, paradise/plantation, and the importance of the imagination in transcending colonial ideation. As artists bear witness to our political coming-of-age, they craft stories that challenge power and help guide us towards self-knowledge. With over 500 pieces, the collection is only a snapshot of this story/making – which is a great place to start to imagine.

PULSE, a three-fold exhibition, centered on Bahamian public art, asks us to pause in our everyday lives. This triad (livingPULSE, onePULSE, and naturesPULSE) reflects on the power of art in the public realm during the contemporary crisis of COVID-19 and other historical moments.
