Library

The library's heritage, originated from the ASAC archive of books, is constantly being developed and updated through purchases, donations and, above all, exchanges with the main institutions of production, research and preservation of contemporary, national and international arts. Since 2009, through the Book Pavilion, the Library also welcomes and captures the volumes donated by artists and architects participating in Art Exhibitions and Architecture Exhibitions. The books collected thanks to this project, created by Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, are the result of constant collaboration with the directors of art and architecture exhibitions.

The Library adheres to the National Library Service (SBN) and is currently completing the catalog of the original fund. You can browse the online catalog, including catalogs of exhibitions, monographs, essays, repertoires and periodicals, at the page http://polovea.sebina.it/SebinaOpac/Opac.do#0.
In addition, a project of counting is active in order to enhance the content on the topics about La Biennale di Venezia present in the Italian and foreign periodicals. Thanks to the analytical description of the content, users can easily find the individual articles, thus deepening the search. The activity is carried out both in subscription magazines (about 200 titles) and in the discontinued publications.
