GALLERY GARAGE

A garage from the 1930s in Berga Bazaar has been converted into an art gallery. The building is an interesting testament to its time, a unique accent in the urban environment of the arcade, and the Berga family has had the idea of preserving and redeveloping it since the beginning of the bazaar's renovation. After the reconstruction of the building, the Garage team offered things from Latvia - artist-style gifts. The image of the building determined the design of the construction and interior decoration - the aesthetics of the harsh garage environment of the 1930s with objects made of tire rubber, felt, rusty metal and, in contrast, fragile linen, jewelry and handicrafts. Since 2011, the central part of the garage has been a democratic wine bar with an open kitchen, offering a daily menu and tapas.
