Montego Bay Cultural Centre
About This Museum
You might not expect to find Jamaica's national treasures tucked inside a former colonial courthouse, but that's the delightful surprise of the Montego Bay Cultural Centre. This isn't a stuffy, silent museum; it's a vibrant hub where the island's story feels alive. You can spend an afternoon moving from powerful contemporary art to historical artifacts that speak to the nation's complex journey. Itβs the kind of place that changes how you see Montego Bay long after you've left.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the National Gallery West exhibits, which showcase cutting-edge Jamaican artists, or the National Museum West's poignant display on Sam Sharpe and the fight for emancipationβhistory that happened right outside its doors.
