Giardini della Biennale is the historic heart of the Venice Biennale - a sprawling garden complex that has hosted the world's most prestigious contemporary art exhibition since 1895. Here you will find the iconic national pavilions, each designed by a different architect and representing a different country, from the American Pavilion to the French, German, British and beyond. Your guide will lead you through the most significant pavilions of the 2026 edition, explain the curatorial choices behind each national presentation, and help you understand the works in the context of the overarching theme "In Minor Keys." With over 29 pavilions in the Giardini alone, having an expert by your side transforms what could be an overwhelming experience into a focused and deeply rewarding journey through the best of contemporary art.
