Upstairs inside the City Hall, Bermuda's premier art gallery stages regularly changing exhibitions by contemporary Bermudian artists. Paintings, installations, photography and other media are well-represented in the summer-long Biennal, which is held every two years. The permanent collection comprises landscapes, prints, linocuts and photography, both by renowned Bermudian and Bermuda-inspired artists.
