Pete’s Pub (and Johnston’s Bronze Art Foundry)

Among the last things you might expect to find on a tropical island would certainly be a bronze casting operation using a 5,000-year-old lost wax-casting technique. So you may be surprised to find exactly that operating out of Pete’s Pub & Gallery in Little Harbour. The bronze foundry has been used by three generations of the Johnston family, and it’s the only one of its kind in the Bahamas. The bronze sculptures made here have been displayed from Nassau to the Vatican. Visitors can peruse the art pieces on display and watch new ones being created.
