Venice Biennale – Italy

May 9–November 22, 2026

Held every other year, the Biennale is a sprawling, poetic examination of contemporary culture—set across Venice’s gardens, palaces, and pavilions. What to expect: Nation-led exhibitions, bold curatorial statements, and the kind of big-picture perspective that shapes the art world for years to come. While you’re there: Charter a private boat for gallery-hopping by water. Many collectors also rent Venetian palazzos as temporary viewing salons.
