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.
