The Main Pavilion of the Biennale and more than thirty national pavilions, the vast spaces of the Giardini and the Arsenale, as well as the parallel program projects scattered throughout the city, will bring together thousands of artists and their works. The most important event outside the Biennale, coinciding with the preview days, will be the opening of Marina Abramović’s exhibition at the Gallerie dell’Accademia.
The theme of the 61st Biennale, In Minor Keys, was conceived by Cameroonian curator Koyo Kouoh, who sadly passed away in 2025. After her death, the organizers chose to preserve the vision for an edition that evokes an atmosphere of “contemplation, dreaming, and gentle melancholy.”
Venice, the most romantic and mysterious of Italian cities, turns into the center of the art world every two years with the Biennale of Contemporary Art. We’ll be there at the perfect time — the preview days before the official opening, when the exhibitions are alive with artists and collectors.
