Biennale Art
Venues
Giardini
Since the very first Biennale in 1895, the Gardens in the east of Venice have been the traditional venue for the International Art Exhibition. The original Palazzo dell'Esposizione was built in 1895 but has been restructured and extended several times since, and is now the 3,000-square-metre Italian Pavilion.
Alongside it there are a total of 29 national pavilions, built at various periods by the exhibiting nations themselves.
In collaboration with the Venice City Council, the feasibility of adding to the number of these national pavilions is under study, and it seems likely that the go-ahead will be given.
Surrounded by the greenery of the Gardens, the existing pavilions are a veritable anthology of twentieth-century architecture, with works by such designers as Aalto, Hoffmann, Rietveld, Scarpa and Stirling.

The Biennale Gardens
The exhibition venues are the Italian Pavilion and the national pavilions at the Giardini, as well as the Corderie, the Artiglierie and other venues at the Arsenale. Countries that do not own a pavilion and institutions that organise collateral events are exhibited in other venues in Venice.
The next International Art Exhibition will take place in 2009.
