Experience Venice Biennale 2017

Art trip.: 24. - 27. August 2017

VIVA ARTE VIVA – 57. Biennale di Venezia

The Venice Biennale is one of the most important and prestigious international exhibitions of the
contemporary art. It is the oldest and largest biennial and has been held every two years in Venice since 1895. Sculpture network was also there in 2017.

Led by experts of the Biennale, we have received individually designed guided tours through the Biennale. Of course, the focus was on three-dimensional art. During an exclusive visit to Venetian palazzi, we had the opportunity to meet the artists and curators of three accompanying Biennale exhibitions in person. In the leisure moments everyone could explore the Biennale on their own.

But besides all the knowledge, there was of course also enough time for relaxation and pleasure. An authentic Venice experience naturally also includes Venice cuisine and its traditional trattorias,where the group had the opportunity to taste culinary delicacies and exchange views. And at the latest in our quiet hotel in the heart of the city there was also time to relax.
