Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I was not expecting a lot at the art museum for a small Caribbean nation that has only been independent for 50 years. But the colorful pieces here certainly evoke a Bahaman style. Most of the art has a victim and oppression theme, which is also fitting for a country that is both entirely dependent on yet loathes the tourists and the national subservience to tourist interests. While the Museum itself isn’t that big, they fill the walls with the art, though photos aren’t allowed. There is also a sculpture garden, but there are only a few, very abstract pieces here. It’s a one hour museum on the whole.

    I took a landscape print class with Shanise and had a blast. She was a great instructor and helped me make some lovely keepsake prints that I will enjoy as a memory of my time in the Bahamas. Her class gave me just the right amount of instruction and freedom to be creative. I plan on signing up for more classes at the Current because they offered such quality instruction and a unique experience for part of my trip. It was a lovely offering for when I didn’t want to be out on a boat or in the water for a few hours! Many thanks to them!

    We were introduced to hillside house gallery and bar by the Bahamas food tour and could not wait to come back.

    Relaxed vibe, great food. Wonderful chat at the bar with Chris at the end of the evening.

    Best bar in Nassau. Thanks team!

    Tucked away down a side street, this art gallery and crafts studio is line a mini Bahamian oasis. Beautiful, locally made paintings, wood carved bowls and arts and crafts. Make sure you chat with the staff working there, who have amazing backstories about the art and crafts they sell.

    An unexpected pleasure. Small gallery of exquisitely curated pieces, produced a powerful exhibit. Highly recommend a 15-30 minute stop here.

    One of the best things about PopOp is that artists rent studio space and even live there in the main building. Whenever there is a special exhibit (as opposed to the artwork that normally adorns the walls), the artists are there to talk with you and explain their works, which are usually very creative and avant garde. John Cox, the owner/artist/ curator of BahaMar, is not often on property because of the work he's doing for BahaMar (soliciting and coordinating all the artwork for this massive new Cable Beach megaresort, where all the art in every room of every building will have been done by a Bahamian artist). This is not surprising, because The Bahamas seems to grow artists! (COB is doing a great job in this field.) However, if you are lucky, you may see Kendal Hanna, a living legend abstract expressionist par excellence, who lives in one of the out-buildings on the PopOp property. By the way, some of the artworks are outdoor installations, so be sure to look around.

    This newly opened gallery is so worth visiting. The staff was friendly and took the time to tell us about the artwork and artist.
