For only $5 I was able to see INCREDIBLE art! I love the garden setting! Such a great organization and you can really tell the team puts their all into it. You have to check out the old water tank that is now a seating area.. Also great place to rent for a private function! I will be back!

I stumbled on Masterworks quite by chance, on a day when I walked from Hamilton to the Botanical Gardens. I stopped into the cafe--called Homer's--for a bit of lunch and afterwards visited the current exhibit entitled Drawing with Light, which is an exhibit of early Bermuda photographs. Sadly, the Winslow Homer's were not on view that day, but I was... More

Located on grounds of Botanical Gardens which in March is not in full bloom, but still a pleasant spot with great views of island and ocean.

I went here a few years back and was delighted!! What a find!!! The artwork is top-notch and the museum itself is very well maintained. The staff is super friendly, at the time they were giving out free books showcasing the permanent collection. They have many activities and programs for kids, so I would recommend checking out what is on... More

Ever changing and always interesting exhibits. Not your average art gallery. Free and informative. Kids welcomed. Set in the middle of the Botanical Gardens so they can run around afterwards. Good public transport links (hop off at the hospital). Funded by donations so if you love it drop a dollar in the tin.

The setting for Masterworks is brilliant, in the grounds of the Botanical Gardens. You have to walk pass the Peacock s enclosure and a lovely old house en route to Masterworks. There is a delightful cafe inside.

I visited Masterworks at the weekend and found it really well laid out and informative. They showcase mainly Bermudian artists and some of the artwork was astounding. The coffee shop looked lovely and is reasonably priced and the setting within the botanical gardens was really pretty. Worth a visit if you are in the area.
