Bahamas Craft Centre, New Providence

Even from the outside this place has a style all its own. The large pastel Art Deco building occupies its own piece of land between Hurricane Hole Plaza and the Paradise Shopping Plaza. The sign outside states that 100 authentic boutiques are housed within the main building. Upon entering, it becomes obvious that "boutique" is a bit of an overstatement. However, the 100 booths here sell everything from clothing to woven straw goods to seashell crafts. The overall impression is of a large, sedate, impossibly tidy Straw Market.
