Review:
Unique works in an original building. Selling curiosities and a range of
fabulous, eclectic collection of art, antiquities such as ritual
masks, bronzes, textiles, Ashanti wooden stools from Ghana, West
African jewellery and clothes.
The proprietor imports artwork from various African countries
including Mali, Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana.
As you approach the arts complex the first sign of art is the
building itself! This is a one-of-a-kind structure with the
frontage featuring silver and ochre coloured tubular pillars and
decorated black handrails that adorn the centre.
Aside
from the divers art collection on display there is also a
hairdressing salon and a cafe restaurant called YOK.
