Calle Alcalá 65, 28014 Madrid

3- The third venue is the "bodega" that Bergé owns in La Rioja, in the north of Spain. This is an ancient winery with a medieval castle that produces two wines. Part of the collecion is exhibited in the gardens and inside the "bodega":

The idea is a dynamic collection that rotates through the three venues, where workers, employees, clients and visitors can enjoy the collection.
The philosophy of the collection is also to accept loans of works for important exhibitions. We have collaborated with museums like Tate Britain (London), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisboa), Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro (Milán) among others…
