MYLR Gallery and Books

Known For

Original art and independent titles sharing the same intimate walls

MYLR Gallery and Books occupies that precise overlap between art space and reading room, with exposed brick walls that double as gallery hang and a cozy nook for sitting with whatever you've just pulled off the shelf. It's quietly one of the more rewarding stops downtown.

🕐Best time to visit: just before closing when the gallery light is softest

Our Take

MYLR Gallery and Books occupies an interesting hybrid space where art and literature share the same exposed brick walls, giving it a distinctly unhurried, discovery-driven atmosphere. The handful of reviews keeping it from ranking higher, but those who've found it clearly love it — a true hidden gem in the making.
