Venice Biennale

The Venice Biennale (Italian: Biennale di Venezia; also called in English the "Venice Biennial") is a major contemporary art exhibition that takes place once every two years (in odd years) in Venice, Italy. The Venice Film Festival is part of it. So too is the Venice Biennale of Architecture, which is held in even years. A dance section, the "International Festival of Contemporary Dance", was established in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word venice:

    “I know our country disposition well;
    In Venice they do let God see the pranks
    They dare not show their husbands; their best conscience
    Is not to leave’t undone, but keep’t unknown.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
