Since its opening in 1999, our gallery has been more than just a place for art—it’s a cultural landmark and a symbol of connection. Located in the heart of Sarajevo, in the historic Moricha Han, our gallery is steeped in the traditions of the East and West. Once a bustling inn where travelers, merchants, poets, and scholars gathered to exchange ideas and skills, Moricha Han remains a place of inspiration, rich in history and friendship.
For over two decades, we have carried forward this legacy, becoming a gathering place for people from all walks of life. Through the beauty of art and craftsmanship, we aim to bridge cultures, foster friendships, and celebrate the timeless connection between the East and the West.
A visit to our gallery is not just about discovering art—it’s about connecting with the stories behind it. Our founder, whose passion for preserving tradition is at the heart of everything we do, has welcomed countless visitors, including Richard Gere during one of his trips. This iconic moment captures the spirit of our gallery: a place where the world comes together to appreciate the beauty of life through art.
At our gallery, we believe art transcends borders. We are dedicated to showcasing the finest handmade Persian carpets, kilims, and oriental treasures, offering our visitors a chance to experience stories woven into every thread. Our collection is carefully curated, featuring one-of-a-kind masterpieces, from premium silk carpets of Qom, Tabriz, and Isfahan to semi-antique rugs from Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its heritage and value.
