Loman, the curator, is very kind and welcoming and loves sharing her knowledge about art and Africa. Definitely a must see!

Don’t let the name put you off. Gallery Antenna was started 50 years by the current owner’s father who was a salesman for 3M throughout West Africa. He was self-trained and had an excellent eye . The collection is extensive, organized by country/tribe and each piece is documented with its provenance and history. Excellent prices too! Also have paintings but they are new.
