    This gallery could really benefit from some curating. The interior design and the amount of art scattered throughout creates a feeling of incredible of clutter.  more »

  • By Fernando Guimaraes Turatto
    WORTH VISITING: impressive architecture with nice decoration. Exposition is not world-class, but really interesting considering the diversity of art options in the town.
  • By Kler LR
    Super place to get to know local Azeri contemporary artists. Huge space so you can spend the afternoon there!
