Ahhh...Ras natango Gallery and garden
About This Museum
Tucked away on a lush Montego Bay hillside, Ras Natango Gallery and Garden is the passion project of artist Ian 'Ras Natango' Williams and his wife, who started transforming their family land into this creative sanctuary around 2010. It’s far more than a gallery; it's a vibrant, living space where art and nature are completely intertwined. You'll find terraced gardens bursting with local flora, which in turn attract a dazzling array of tropical birds—so keep your eyes peeled for the flash of a hummingbird. The whole place feels like a personal, joyful invitation into their world.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is Ras Natango's own vibrant paintings, which capture the spirit and color of Jamaica in bold, expressive strokes. Alongside his work, you can browse an eclectic mix of crafts from local artisans, including unique pottery and carvings. Don't miss the 'Recycled Garden' exhibits, where creative sculptures are ingeniously fashioned from discarded items.
Visitor Information
Wear comfortable shoes for the garden paths, as the hillside terrain is steep in places. It's a good idea to call ahead to book a tour, as the personal stories from the family really make the experience come alive. Bring your camera—the views over Montego Bay are spectacular.
Architecture & Building
The gallery itself is a charmingly rustic, open-air structure that feels organically grown from the hillside, surrounded by hand-built stone terraces and winding garden paths.
