Ninety seconds on Bermuda National Gallery
Admission is free all through 2026, so you can fit an easy indoor hour into a Hamilton day. Go on a weekday, because Saturday hours are short.
Take the main stair or the lift in the City Hall foyer up to the second floor. Four rooms open on one level: the Project Space, the Hereward T. Watlington Room, the Ondaatje Wing and the Humann Gallery.
Steps lead up to the Young Gallery and on to the Sharon and Paul Gurtler Gallery on the upper mezzanine. Temporary shows fill much of the space, so check the exhibitions page the week you go.
Beyond the European paintings, look for the African masks and royal regalia, Richard Saunders's black and white photographs and Hale Woodruff's linocuts of African-American life.
