Which Jamaican cultural institutions protect art and heritage?

Several key institutions in Jamaica are dedicated to the promotion and protection of the country's art and cultural heritage:

• The Institute of Jamaica: This organization serves as a primary patron and promoter of the arts. It acts as the country’s museums authority and administers several important entities, including the National Gallery, Liberty Hall, and the African Caribbean Institute of Jamaica.1
• Jamaica National Heritage Trust: This body is specifically responsible for the protection of Jamaica's material cultural heritage.1
• Educational and Archival Institutions: The Jamaica Library Service, the Jamaica Archives, the National Library, and the University of the West Indies all contribute significantly to the promotion of Jamaican arts and culture.1

Additionally, the Blue and John Crow Mountains were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015. This site is recognized for its cultural significance as a place of settlement for the Taino people and Maroons, as well as for its biodiversity.2
