The National Museum and Art Gallery is the national museum of Trinidad and Tobago, in Port of Spain on Trinidad island.[1] It is located at the top of Frederick Street, opposite the Memorial Park, and just south of the Queen's Park Savannah.
The museum was established in 1892, as the Royal Victoria Institute.[2] The building is an example of Victorian era colonial style of the British West Indies.[3]
Features
The Museum manages a collection of some 10,000 items, including a collection of paintings by Michel-Jean Cazabon.[2] Among the many items on display in seven major galleries are petroleum and geological exhibits, the permanent national art collection, and a small gallery on Trinidad's Carnival arts.
The facilities include an audio-visual room which is used in an active educational programme.[citation needed]
