Central Bank of Bahamas

The Central Bank of the Bahamas sits behind a facade of glass and stone, distinguished by the large, circular metal sculpture of a sea fan coral mounted near its entrance. Established in nineteen seventy-four, shortly after Bahamian independence, the bank manages the national currency and regulates the country's financial system. Inside its walls, the institution maintains a permanent art collection, gathering works that document the evolution of Bahamian identity through the eyes of local painters and sculptors who define the national aesthetic.
