Current Exhibitions
BNG provides a national platform for Bermudian art and artists, presenting their work alongside international exhibitions. Private tours of current exhibitions can be arranged. Please call ahead to book in advance.
Co-curated by Akili Tommasino, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Dr Julie Crooks, Curator of Arts of Global Africa and the Diaspora at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the 2026 Bermuda Biennial presents new works by 34 Bermuda-based artists.

The David L. White Collection is one of BNG’s most important permanent collections. Painted during the first half of the 20th century by leading American Impressionists, the works capture the open landscapes and languid sun-drenched days of life in old Bermuda.

On display until October 17, 2026
