The gallery is quiet and relaxed, making it easy to explore without crowds. There is no pressure to buy, but if you’re interested in carpets or textiles, you can ask for demonstrations or explanations. Photography is usually allowed, but always check with staff before taking photos. Since many pieces are handcrafted and delicate, handle items only when invited.
