BIENNALE ARTE

The International Art Exhibition, the "great mother" of all the Biennale activities, was organised for the first time in 1895 and immediately became one of the most important art events in the World. A prestige which is maintained even today for the ability of La Biennale to anticipate new trends in art and, at the same time, to present under renewed perspectives works and artists of every period.

Countless Masters have been invited to present their works at the International Art Exhibition; important critics and art historians curated the main exhibitions and the National Pavilions: a long list of central figures in the history of art in the 20th century which contributed to generate and develop the "pluralism of voices" which has characterized La Biennale di Venezia since its birth.
