Núcleo d'Arte
An artists' cooperative founded in 1936, where you can visit studios and buy original works, with live music on weekends.
Núcleo d'Arte is Maputo's oldest artists' cooperative, and renowned artists such as Malangatana once worked here. The old house holds a gallery and several studios, where you can talk with artists and buy paintings and sculptures directly. The courtyard features sculptures made from decommissioned weapons. The small attached bar often hosts live music and get-togethers on weekends, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Admission is free. It is located in the Polana district.
