THE LOCATION
Munich, known for openness, cultural diffusion, and its Central European mentality, has always been considered an ideal place for contemporary art in Europe.
Viktualienmarkt, a lively square and the heart of “Altstadt” (the old town), is situated just behind the famous Marienplatz.
It’s a colourful and traditional cultural crossroads, popular with locals and tourists. The gallery is a small jewel with its large windows overlooking the street. It’s just in front of “Eataly München”, a reference point for lovers of Italian food and culture, which sees thousands of people every year.
