La Patinoire Royale Brussels a great spot for comptemporary art lovers
La Patinoire Royale or the Royal Skating as it would be translated is a building in Brussels with a long history. It appeared in the background of Brussels in 1877, when it was indeed a skating ring for roller blades. It was the first construction to serve this purpose in the entire Europe. But, in a short time after its construction, it ended serving a different purpose, becoming a garage for the famous Bugatti cars in 1900. After another 5 years, the location was used as a depot by a war weapons factory and, after the World War II, it was used by the Siemens Company as a garage. And finally, it became an exhibition garage in 1975, for car enthusiasts.

It has been in the city for so long already, having a unique neo-classical style, that it would be a shame not to preserve it. In recent times, the space within the Patinoire Royale served as a contemporary art gallery, where people can enjoy various exhibitions free of charge. The most recent exhibition, the one I saw myself, was the one displaying the work of Takis and Jean Prouvé. Panagiotis “Takis” Vassilakis is a Greek artist that became very popular in France.
