If your looking for the good quality souvenirs and art.., art treasure gift shop is well worth visiting for. They have a good collection of art, antiques, souvenirs and much more and also their price is nice with a little sale pressure even when our sales person was with us. Their price was reasonable compare to other galleries we visited in Moshi. Fantastic!!!
