Gallery tips for Abidjan

A few things worth knowing before you work through Abidjan's art galleries:

• Photography rules vary at Galerie Cécile Fakhoury. Some galleries welcome photos, others forbid them. Look for the sign at the door rather than guessing.
• Check the gift shop at Luisimone Girandou Gallery. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
• Ask about the price list. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
• Don't skip the project room. The small back room often holds the most interesting work — emerging artists, experiments, one-night installations.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Abidjan — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Abidjan can take a while to appear. The 6 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 6 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
