The Institute of Jamaica was established at 10-16 East Street in 1879 by Sir Anthony Musgrave (1828-88), then Governor of Jamaica.

It was regarded as the chief agency designed to help Government in the promotion and preservation of culture on the island. Edna Manley (1900-87) considered that the Institute stood like a beacon as the only body that encouraged any of the arts or sciences.
