Review of Craft & Folk Art Museum

The Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) has been a catalyst for cultural exploration for more than 40 years. Formerly The Egg and The Eye, an innovative cafe and artist hangout, CAFAM now provides the culturally curious a chance to explore the world through the universal lens of art. Breaking from the traditional, the museum offers a fresh and modern take on "craft and folk art" by featuring thought-provoking exhibitions, ranging from the history of the Tarot to a photojournalist's observations of contemporary Iranian society. Be sure to check out the museum's weekly public programs where you can get your hands dirty and actively participate in interpreting and creating art.

Another great reason to visit is to experience the museum's award-winning shop, which features a curated selection of exquisite handmade goods that represent the best of contemporary craft and traditional folk art from around the world. Plus, these handpicked objects come from fair-trade collectives, women's empowerment projects, and local artisans, so your buying power has a positive social impact.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
