The Galleria Continua Paris opens its doors in Paris !

The Galleria Continua, an Italian gallery already installed in seven major cities in the world (San Gimignano, Beijing, Havana, Rome, Sao Paulo…), showcases great artists representing contemporary artistic creation.

In France, it has already been present since 2007 in Île-de-France in Boissy-le-Châtel, where it is established in a former factory in Les Moulins: the Galleria Continua / Les Moulins. The gallery showcases famous works by great contemporary artists such as Daniel Buren, Leila Alaoui or Michelango Pistoletto.

A new Parisian space is now open, in the heart of the capital in Le Marais. A space of 800 m2, previously occupied by a leather goods wholesaler.
