Murungo Ano Penga Inc. / Murungo Gallery and our Zimbabwean partners are dedicated to the promotion of fair and equitable trade with hundreds of artists from the tribes of Africa. Our focus is the inspirational sculptures originating from the Zimbabwean Shona People.

Originating over 2,000 years ago, these remarkable vestiges of human spirit, captured forever in stone, came to world attention during the mid-1900’s. Passed down from elder to youth, Shona Sculpture evolved gracefully through hundreds of generations. As an art form, it is part of the most prominent contemporary movement ever to emerge from the African continent.

With a base and wholesale warehouse in Harare, Zimbabwe, Retail Gallery and Wholesale Warehouse in Edmonton, Canada, Murungo Ano Penga Inc. is dedicated to the vigorous promotion of these genuine African masterpieces - and with them - the magnificent character, culture and soul of the world's oldest civilization.

Since 1999 Murungo has been and still is the ONLY actual direct buyer, exporter out of Zimbabwe and importer into CANADA of Zimbabwean Shona Stone Sculpture on a continuously large scale based in both Zimbabwe and Canada, (excluding Shizar Imports of Vancouver) with all our buying being done personally by Shaun O'Brien. With each piece being hand picked, we can guarantee our top quality product and service to our customers with each and every piece we carry. Shaun deals personally with ALL artists we represent and therefore knows our product inside and out. Other Galleries will claim to have done the work themselves or to have personal contacts buying for them, when in fact they are buying from agents on the ground and have never directly dealt with any of the artists they claim to represent. If one ever wants to know if your gallery actually deals with the artists on the ground we only have to ask for maybe a picture of them with their artists and the pieces in stock, maybe some video, or just a story for what the day was like when they bought a specific piece. We find this misconception very unfortunate and feel that despite whom one may buy form we are all doing our part in promoting this amazing work and should respect that fact and give the proper credit to the actual people who deal with these amazing artists.

Supplying North American markets with authentic African art allows us to support a new generation of Shona artists with a stable income despite their region's rapidly deteriorating economy.

We distribute an impressive variety of true African treasures via retail Gallery, Website and wholesale sales, corporate leasing, and corporate gift giving services.

Look for one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted teak furniture from Zimbabwe, intricate fabrics and Batiks, bronze sculpture from South Africa, paintings and sketches from the African Wildlife Heritage Collection, a unique selection of wooden carvings and masks from various African cultures, plus home décor and accent pieces.

Murungo Ano Penga Inc. is pleased to represent the essence of a proud African heritage to our many friends and customers. Please feel free to contact me personally at 780.433.5504.
