Khesht art gallery
About This Museum
Tucked away on a sun-drenched street in the historic port of Bushehr, the Khesht Art Gallery feels like a quiet discovery. It’s a space where the salt-tinged air from the Persian Gulf seems to mingle with the scent of paint and varnish. You won't find overwhelming crowds here, just a calm, almost intimate, focus on the art itself. The gallery provides a crucial and refreshingly unpretentious platform for both local Iranian artists and those from the wider region.
Collection Highlights
Expect to see vibrant paintings that capture the unique light of the coastal landscape alongside thought-provoking contemporary installations. The rotating exhibits often feature powerful portraiture and abstract pieces that feel deeply connected to this specific place.
Visitor Information
It's located on Shabahang Street in Mollasadra, so it's quite accessible. Given its smaller size, it's perfect for a shorter, more focused visit away from the bustle.
Architecture & Building
Housed in what feels like a renovated traditional building, its simple facade of pale stone or stucco gives little away, creating a sense of unassuming charm that lets the art take center stage.
