Il sistema dei Musei Civici Veneziani è costituito da un insieme organico di sedi e collezioni, di enorme importanza e valore artistico e storico, che racchiude i principali musei della città.

A visit to the museum in St Mark’s Square is a good way to discover Venice’s history and art. The tour begins in the Napoleon Wing and proceeds to the Neoclassical Rooms which holds scupture by Canova and ends in the Public Prosecutors rooms with exhibits on the history of Venice and ancient art. The second floor displays a collection of Venetian art from its beginnings until the 1500s and also houses the Museum of the Risorgimento. 

La Biennale di Venezia è da oltre un secolo una delle istituzioni culturali più prestigiose al mondo e più all'avanguardia nella promozione delle nuove tendenze artistiche e nell’organizzazione di  manifestazioni internazionali delle arti contemporanee, secondo un modello pluridisciplinare che ne caratterizza l'unicità.

The 52nd International Art Exhibition will run in Venice from June 10 to November 21 in the Arsenale and in the Italian Pavilion at the Giardini, presenting about a hundred artists from all over the world. The fever is rising for the inauguration with over 200 events...

The palace is an amazing example of Venetian Gothic architecture. It was the home of the Doge and law making institutions and a symbol of the wealth and power wielded by the Serenissima, the Venetian Republic. Inside are the Great Council rooms, the Senate, the constituency all decorated with paintings by Tintoretto, Titian and Veronese.  There are also the private rooms of the Doge, the famous Council of Ten rooms, the Armoury and the Prisons.

In the Biennial designed by Robert Storr, it would be impossible not to perceive the existence of two generic groupings of artists which reflect the peculiar characteristics of contemporary art language...

Think with the senses, Feel with the mind: art at present. A title such as this, serving also as a theme, induces us to think, perhaps with too much facility, that this is such a wide proposal, such a totalizing panorama, that nothing could in any way remain alien to it.

The core of the exposition at the Venice Pavilion is a cultural project promoted by Regione Veneto, the Province of Venice and the Venice Municipality. Its aim is to give back this exposition space to Veneto's culture, in an international context, conceived as a meeting place for ideas, persons, and languages which encounter each other beyond the geographical boundaries of the region.
