Isidor Gallery

Top choice in Port-au-Prince & Around


In Croix-des-Bouquets, Jean Baptiste Jean Joseph's Vodou temple and art gallery-cum-museum features tapestries, pillow cases, other beaded fabrics and spiritual ceremonies. JBJJ's work is sold internationally, but his space is pure Haitian, decked out with skulls, old baby dolls, bottles of potion and the like. This is a can't-miss opportunity to meet a master at the top of his craft.

JBJJ learned to sew during his 20 years working in a garment factory. His work is incredibly intricate and time consuming; large pieces can take up to six months to complete.
