This place is a treasure and keeps me reminded of what it feels like to be truly alive. I always find interesting and exotic items here, and it’s such a wonderful vibe that I could spend hours there lost in curious bliss. Absolutely my favorite place to buy gifts for people. It’s is also an anchor for the neighborhood, right in the middle of Monroe Street, and I’m so grateful it is there. Hope it will be forever. Thanks Art Gecko!
I love it here
This is one of my favorite stores in Madison. The staff is friendly and they have quality goods that cant be found in a big box retailer! Love their selection and cannot wait to go back!
Finally felt a good vibe when I came in this weekend. Usually all the stones seem sad and the energy is really heavy but not with these two women they were so happy and sweet to me and my friends
Walking into Art Gecko is a feast for the senses. So many beautiful jewelry pieces, clothing, lamps, textiles, and furniture! Dont miss the upstairs show, where most of the furniture is kept. A great place to buy gifts, that statement piece, or just a little something for yourself. You can even find little rings, earrings and necklaces for under $5. The staff is very knowledgeable about the merchandise and its origins and the owner is often on site.
Been coming here for a long time, and Im always inspired by the different items that are brought from all over the world. Great place to shop if youre looking for a fun gift, or that special piece of furniture to transform any space. Love how displays are regularly being mixed up with new products. Always fresh, always clean
Great shopping experience and diverse selections of arts and gifts. The team of Y and M helped me put together a few very special and meaningful gifts. Great personal service and attention.
This Art Gecko Gallery (1725 Monroe Street, Madison, WI) is very clean and the people are super friendly. They have a great selection of unique items from around the world, especially Bali. They have artwork, clothes, jewelry, gem stones, etc. They bring in items regularly so stop by periodically to see whats new. No in-store bathroom but no stores in this area have in-store bathrooms. Excellent gallery. Highly recommended!
Cool dude. Awesome shop
Love this store with a variety of handmade products from many countries. I like the authentic atmosphere here. The price for items are not too expensive. Once I found some cool cloth handmade cross shoulder bags on sale, about $5-$8.
Yes, I agree with the last review. Excellent merchandise and I spent a lot of money but the older lady was very rude and seems to hate any and every customer. I never write reviews but I was shaken by her rude behavior.
When I think of this place, art gallery isnt the description that comes to mind... and for good reason. When I typically think of an art gallery, I think of a place to look at stuff I can dream of affording some day. Not the case with Art Gecko. Granted there is some furniture upstairs that is pricy (as it should be...some of the pieces are exquisite hand built artistic furniture), but many of the items are quite reasonably priced and have an international flair that just plain makes me happy. I love ornate decorations and amazing color in my accent pieces. Every time I stop in, it makes me wonder why I dont do it more often (ah, its a peril of being an introvert). Staff are friendly and are never pushy.
A bunch of overpriced, mediocre products. Owner was also very rude to us. Employees also seemed afraid of him. Would not recommend. Take your money elsewhere.
Nice merchandise.... But the older lady was rude to us... And I dropped few hundred dollars there a month before... Never again.
They always have an incredible array of jewelry and art, it made for a difficult choice in finding a gift for a friend of mine for her birthday. The woman there was very helpful in finding the specific stone I wanted, and helping me wrap my finds nicely for her.
Such a great store, especially for picking up little gift. The garden outside is stunning!
My boyfriend has to come here every time he visits Madison (twice a month) to look at the hundreds of amazing rings!!
I love this shop! We always stop in and visit when we shop Monroe st.
Cool and artistic products. Prices are high for what you are getting.
Fun fun store. Great help.
Overpriced for the quality and very culturally appropriative.
Their customer service leaves much to be desired.
Lots of funky things!
Friendly staff.
