The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas is a bastion of Bahamian culture.
National Art Gallery of the Bahamas
Just because the country is chock full of scenic landscapes doesn’t mean there isn’t an innate appreciation for the painted variety. The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas is a world-class museum dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting historic and contemporary Bahamian art. Its rotating exhibitions offer a direct line to the heart of current Bahamian culture; on any given day you’ll admire the fruits of the nation’s creative genius — past, present and likely future.

Parliament Square makes the White House seem particularly dull.
Parliament Square
To peek back behind the curtain of governance is an endeavor wholly dependent on the nation: America has C-SPAN, the United Kingdom is able to attend debates within Parliament and the Bahamas has Parliament Square. These pink-and-white neoclassical mansions house the Senate, the House of Assembly and the Supreme Court of the Bahamas. For those interested in (or at least, curious about) politics, the chance to sit in on a debate of matters of the state while the House of Assembly is in session is simply too good to pass up.

A trip to the Straw Market is a colorful treat for the eyes.
Straw Market
Instinctively, some small part of you is going to want to take some small part of the Bahamas home — a seashell or weathered shard of sea glass are the likely candidates. But consider something that supports local artisans and doesn’t subtract from the environment — Nassau’s Straw Market is the destination for a good dose of retail therapy. Situated among the high-end boutique shops of Bay Street, this market is the go-to for authentic Bahamian wares: woven straw hats, bags, mats, conch shell jewelry and wood carvings are just some of the treasures you might acquire here.
