Bringing the works of artisans and craftspeoples together from Southeast Asia is an arduous task, but MacroSun International has succeeded in their goal. Serving as Washington Avenueâs âGateway to the Eastâ, Macrosun imports cultural artifacts from places such as India, Nepal, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.

MacroSun's primary goal is to provide the public with an international market at prices that are fair to both artists and collectors. Because they maintain close connections with artists throughout Southeast Asia, MacroSun believes they have a responsibility to operate on grounds of mutual respect and responsibilty. MacroSun attempts to inform and educate the patrons of their market in regards to cultural, political, artistic, and travel information on South Asia. MacroSun does not just sell international products, they are truly passionate about the region and itâs peoples and feel an obligation to promote peace, knowlege, and respect.

Inside the store you will find an extremely eclectic and unique collection of artifacts and art. They have items that can fit any budget but can also boast a sampling of very rare and priceless artifacts from Asia. They have great variety within the market, as they draw from many different nations with very different cultures.
