The webshop starts in the run-up to the opening of the store at 57 Katelijnestraat in Bruges. This was originally planned for the end of 2020, but due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and the road works on Katelijnestraat, festivities have been postponed until the end of April – beginning of May.
Jelle Maréchal, owner of Galerie 57: “As soon as the virus is contained and the embellished Katelijnestraat reopens to the public, we will continue to organize exhibitions, demonstrations, thematic sales campaigns, pop-ups and other events. Events like these are meant not only as a service to visitors and shoppers, but also to support local makers.“
In the meantime, a visit to Galerie 57 on Katelijnestraat 57, located within the fortresses of historic Bruges, is possible by appointment and with a maximum of two people. With a mouth mask – which you can take off for a sip of delicious espresso that will be ready for you, served in a beautifully handmade ceramic coffee cup.
Galerie 57 – also in times of Covid-19 definitely worth a trip. Both online as in person!
