Palazzo Grassi - Punta della Dogana
Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana aim to share with the public the extraordinary Pinault Collection and to strengthen the privileged relationship the institution has developed with artists, especially thanks to works specifically conceived for its exhibition spaces.
Arsonale of the Biennalle
This unusual space is given a curated exhibition during the Biennale. Young, edgy artists are the rising stars in this exhibit.
Smart artists, architects and designers creatively express their thoughts and ideas through the medium of glass. Their contemporary artworks are proof positive of the limitless possibilities inherent in this material.
The design and initial building work on the Napoleonic Wing dates from the years when Venice was part of the Kingdom of Italy (1806-1814) of which Napoleon was sovereign and his stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais was Viceroy. This is one of the most important museums in Venice and always has an extremely important exhibition during the Biennale.
Jewish Ghetto in Venice
This is the first Jewish Ghetto in Europe
The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic. The English word "ghetto" is derived from the Jewish ghetto in Venice, originating from the Venetian gheto.
