This place is incredible! Absolute treasure trove of contemporary art. We had the absolute delight of seeing Benny's art, which highlights current issues in Kenya, raging from identify to politics. We were also in luck as the exhibition had ended which meant we could buy contemporary art and take it back to the UK. We bought an alternative face wall hanging directly from another artist aswell. This place is an absolute gem if you want to take home an authentic and alternative art piece directly from the artist. Benjamin and Raphael who are the managers, also sat and chatted with us about contemporary art in Kenya, they also have great advice in terms of other art places to visit in Kenya. They're also a short taxi ride from the Mombasa cultural centre which is all woman organisation if you are seeking a ethical and cultural itinerary for that day .

Incredible art gallery in East Africa's Kenya. It's the best art gallery in Mombasa. It's easily located in Nyali. Great artworks, traditional, contemporary fine art pieces on display. The place has a small outdoor restaurant with a lawn serving as an entertainment space for performances and curated art classes. It's packed with amazing graffiti and photo realistic murals from local traveling artists illustrating various themes. Parking lot is amply sized too. Great place to unwind and absorb Kenyan culture. Very well put together.
