Curio Market, Handicraft market in Livingstone District, Zambia
The Curio Market contains numerous stalls displaying wooden carvings, traditional jewelry, textiles, and handcrafted items made by local artisans from different regions of Zambia.
The market developed from early 20th-century trade traditions when the Lozi chief Lewinaka established the first craft shop on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls.
Members of the Leya, Lozi, and Lunda-Luvale tribes contribute their distinct carving techniques and artistic traditions to the market's diverse collection of handmade items.
The market welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with vendors accepting various currencies and expecting price negotiations for their handcrafted products.
Local artisans at the market create Makenge baskets, an exclusive product from western Zambia, using traditional weaving methods passed through generations.
