点评:Situated within walking distance of the Jamaican convention centre in Kingston, exists a wonderfully surprising oasis of culture and tranquility. The National Gallery is situated in the art district near the waterfront.
For a very modest fee you can spend at least an hour or two viewing the delights of Jamaica art. There is a vast spectrum of paintings and objects to see, both old and new, colonial and indigenous. There is also currently a ‘Celebrating Reggae’ exhibition till July 2025.
When you arrive, you are invited to sign the visitors book, before being pointed towards the gift shop where you pay your entrance fee. The gallery is on two floors and nicely air conditioned. There is a small gift shop and cafe to complete the experience.
Strangely I visited here only a few days after I visited its name sake in London and enjoyed it just as much. The gallery is closed on a Monday. It’s well worth a visit, historical and culturally.
翻译:牙买加国家美术馆坐落于金斯敦,距离牙买加会议中心仅几步之遥,是一片令人惊喜的文化绿洲,静谧祥和。它坐落于海滨艺术区。
只需支付少量费用,您便可在此度过至少一两个小时,欣赏牙买加艺术的魅力。馆内展出了琳琅满目的画作和文物,既有新旧作品,也有殖民时期和本土艺术的痕迹。目前,馆内还举办了“庆祝雷鬼”展览,展览将持续到2025年7月。
抵达后,您会被邀请在访客登记簿上签名,然后前往礼品店支付入场费。美术馆共有两层,空调舒适。馆内还设有一家小礼品店和一家咖啡馆,让您的体验更加完美。
巧的是,我参观完伦敦的同名美术馆几天后就再次造访了这里,并且同样喜欢这里。美术馆周一闭馆。无论从历史还是文化角度来看,这里都值得一游。
