FROM YOUR STUDIO TO BBA GALLERY
The BBA Gallery in Berlin-Mitte is far from a standard box. With almost 200 square meters of exhibition space spread over two floors, our gallery is defined by its unique architectural character. The varied layout and distinct corners create a rhythmic flow, allowing each artwork in the Made in Berlin Award to find its own dedicated space and dialogue with the viewer.
