  • Assema (Museu Nacional de Arte)

    hanging out with local craftsmen instead of visiting the national art gallery

    Location: 

    Av. Ho Chi Min, Maputo, Mozambique

    Duration: 

    Monday, December 12, 2016

    Personal highlights

    1. Art gallery: it's Monday and all museums is closed, no exception
    2. Assema: then the guard shows me the craftsmen behind the museum
    3. Craftsmen: funny guys, not speaking English, but try to interact anyway
    4. Artworks: beautifully and fragile figures carved out of wood and painted
    5. Architecture: as the rest of the city, all walls are crumbling and falling apart
