Kingston Travel Guide

National Gallery

Jamaica's important art collection is often overlooked by tourists, but is well worth visiting. Kingston's National Gallery displays the works of Jamaica's talented artists, particularly that of Edna Manley, 19th-century sculptor and the wife of a former prime minister of Jamaica. Manley's acclaimed stands in the main lobby of the national gallery, along with a bronze statue by Christopher Gonzalez of reggae singer Bob Marley. Other highlights of the collection are the religious works of Mallica Reynolds, who has been hailed by art critics as a modern genius.
