Loman Art is a beautiful and inspiring art gallery where you'll get the chance to discover emerging artists from Senegal and the whole continent and sometimes even see them at work. Loman, the curator, is very kind and welcoming and loves sharing her knowledge about art and Africa. Definitely a must see!

This centuries-old house served as a processing center for African slaves.

We had a local fellow named Ali who was magnificent, taking us through and giving us information on each room and how the slaves would arrive and be treated throughout their time here. You don’t want to miss understanding the impact of this place in history. If you really want to understand the impact of the place, make sure you have a guided tour.

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.
