Photo Description

In 1965, the Royal Victoria Institute was renamed the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago. The museum, established in 1892, was named to commemorate Queen Victoria's jubilee. The original building was designed by Daniel Meinerts Hahn, the Chief Draughtsman of the Public Works in Trinidad. Hahn was also the architect of the Queen’s Royal College. The museum's architectural elements include Dutch gables and slates on the roof. The image shows a man walking by the museum, which also has a dugout canoe in front on display.
