“Extra sausage, please!” Could you imagine hearing that call not in a butcher shop, but in an art gallery? You might if you were standing here at Galerie Extrawurst! This quirky name is a playful nod to the building’s past life. You see, for years, this very spot was home to a bustling butcher shop. Today, the cleavers and cuts of meat have been replaced with canvases and sculptures. Galerie Extrawurst is a haven for local artists, showcasing a diverse collection of styles and mediums. The transformation from butcher shop to gallery happened about 30 years ago, but the spirit of the old shop lives on in the unique atmosphere. Stepping inside, you might be surprised to find that much of the original butcher shop design remains, creating a charming contrast with the modern artwork on display. So, next time you find yourself in Augsburg seeking a dose of culture, take a detour to Galerie Extrawurst. Explore the world of contemporary art housed within the walls of a former butcher shop. It’s an experience that will surely linger in your memory, as unique and unexpected as its name suggests.
