Venice Biennale 2009

The Venice Biennale was founded in 1895 to embrace developments in international art.
Commonly viewed as the “world championships” of the art world, the 77 participating countries are all vying for top prize - the “Golden Lion”.

National pavilions were built in the Giardini - or public gardens - to house exhibitions from each participating country's chosen artists.
But as more and more countries wished to take part, the Biennale has spread across the Italian city, to include locations such as the “Arsenale” (a sprawling, former shipyard), Giudecca and other islands in the surrounding area.
