Housed in the beautifully restored 1860s-era Villa Doyle, it opened in 2003 and has managed to collect a number of important works, which it cycles through the museum via changing exhibits.
Bahamian artists are the collection's primary focus, but there are works by ex-pats as well, including some stunning Winslow Homer Bahamas landscapes.
It includes paintings, sculpture, textiles, ceramics and photography from notables such as Stanley Burnside, Amos Ferguson and Antonius Roberts.
While the art on display is typically not for sale, a gift store on site features an impression collection of handmade artwork, soaps and candles, quilts, sculptures, jewelry and hand-woven baskets.
