Visitors can visit the exhibitions from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm; it’s closed every Monday. This year, the title of the Venice Biennale exhibition is ‘The Encyclopedic Palace’ with the intention of emphasising the idea of how dynamic paintings and artistic sculptures have helped us organise our knowledge and shape how we interpret the world around us.
Visitors will come to understand as they walk around these majestic displays that the artists strive to delve even deeper into the possibilities of the human imagination which has resulted in exquisite work. The styles of artwork include Renaissance, abstract, surrealism, retro and modern techniques to name but a few. This vibrant mixture of artwork truly enriches the visitors experience and makes it a hugely interesting venue to browse around.
