We start more than three year ago, a fine art photo gallery in the centre of Stone Town in the former tourist shop of Zakia.The idea to initiate The Beautiful Eyes as a place to present art photography started in May 2008 when three photographers visited Zanzibar for a week of photography. They missed a place to talk, present and even to buy photography.In September 2008 Hans Agterdenbos, one of the three, came back to stone town and started investigations to open a gallery. He met Zakia Abdullah they married in march 2009 and they founded The Beautiful Eyes place to talk about photography, find inspiration and maybe good ideas. Up to the present time ±4500 visitors found the way into there gallery.Some take an original photograph home, others attend one of the workshops the Photowalk© the Shambawalk© the Pembasafari. Most caught some inspiration and all of them left the gallery with a good feeling and positive words

The women of Hurumzi Henna Art Gallery transform traditional henna body arts into paintings and prints . Using a centuries old tradition of adorning women's hands and feet for celebrations such as weddings and festivals, the artists translate the patterns of the body art onto canvas creating a new and soon to be iconic art style through their elaborate paintings.
Cute art gallery of hand made henna paintings in the heart of stone town. Feel free to bargain and pick up some really great local art!

An incredible history of the island. From the era of the Omani occupation, through the occupation by the Portuguese and then the British, upto the post-WW2 period. Fascinating history about an Omani princess and her relationship with a European high ranking personality, presumably an Austrian. Well worth a visit to view an amazing collection of paintings, artwork, photos and furniture. Advisable to visit with a guide or read up on it beforehand.

The first ever Museum dedicated to the world legend Freddie Mercury, located in the same house where Freddie and his family stayed until they moved to England in 1963. The museum showcases a detailed accord of the birth town of Farrokh Bulsara, his childhood and upbringing and then the rest of his journey to becoming one of the greatest stars of all time!
The museum is set in the actual house that Freddie and his family lived, prior to their move to the UK. It covers Freddie's birth and early childhood in Zanzibar. Freddie's signature yellow jacket sits atop the piano.
