Sprawling house of curiosities of local jewelery and other crafts deep in the old town. More shop than museum, but proprietor is honest with what are replicas and what are originals.

Even though I had immediately made it clear that I had no money on me and wasn't interested in buying anything, I was warmly welcomed to come in to have a no-strings-attached look around all the rooms of their spacious atelier, filled with an astounding array of wonderful handicrafts and other objects.

I very much appreciated the reception that was given to me. If you are looking to obtain a piece of craftmanshap, this might be your place

It is quite interesting to see being located within the old city, but the sellers seemed to be a little pushy at the end of the tour.
