Harmony Hall
The Basics
Paintings and sculptures from more than 100 of Jamaica's finest artists and artisans are the focal point of this elegant local landmark, with carved wooden verandas and a grand central staircase. Visitors wandering through the rooms will enjoy browsing through an extensive range of books and prints, and perusing treasures in the gift shop filled with locally made jewelry, beauty products, and a Reggae to Wear line of sportswear.
