Art Museums in Bermuda

Explore Bermuda’s art museums and you will discover not only a rich history of art but art that tells of an equally rich history. From 17th century decorative arts and furniture and European masters to impressions of the Island by world-renowned artists and contemporary Bermudian works, you’ll find a world of art as well as a constantly changing programme of local and international exhibitions.


Bermuda National Gallery
	Located on the second floor of the City Hall & Arts Centre in the heart of Hamilton, The Bermuda National Gallery is the home of the national art collection, showing both Bermuda and world art. The museum has a diverse collection and exhibition programme of past and present works by local and international artists that tells Bermuda’s history through its fine and decorative arts as well as reflecting Bermuda’s multicultural heritage. Open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission free. Call 295-9428


Bermuda Society of Arts
	The Bermuda Society for the Arts gallery is the best place to appreciate Bermuda’s current art scene. Known as ‘The People’s Gallery’, artists of all ages show work in a wide variety of media. Exhibitions change regularly, approximately every 3-weeks and most pieces are for sale at affordable prices. This inviting space is conveniently located on the top floor of City Hall in Hamilton. During the winter months the gallery is opened 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday (closed for public holidays). Admission is free. The People’s Gallery is accessible by elevator. For further information telephone 292-3824 or visit www.bsoa.bm.


Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art
	The Foundation was started in 1987 by its Director Tom Butterfield, who recognized that a unique body of artwork could be compiled to form a collection that would one day gain worldwide recognition. Construction of the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is now well under way. The doors will open in our 20th Anniversary year, 2008, when the collection will finally be on display in the world’s newest museum! Today, over one thousand pieces make up the collection (currently valued at over $7 million), including three works by Winslow Homer, as well as pieces by Georgia O’Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Marsden Hartley, Albert Gleizes and Ogden Pleissner. Other artists in the collection affirm the influence Bermuda’s beauty has had on the worldwide art scene.
