Moontree and Stone Gallery
An exotic collection of fine art and functional pieces imported from Zimbabwe awaits within this intimate and very welcoming gallery. A plethora of abstract and representational artistic styles evokes a variety of emotions and responses. Attentive staff informatively display the hand-carved, smoothly textured, stone and wood sculpture. For the home, wooden furniture, batik fabrics, recycled glassware, and woven baskets all seduce and satisfy the eye.

Hunt Museum
The Hunt Collection is an internationally important collection of original works of art and antiquities. It is a personal one, formed by a couple who judged each piece that they collected according to the standard of its design, craftsmanship and artistic merit. These criteria they applied to objects of all ages - from the Neolithic to the twentieth century.
