Educational 2025
La Biennale di Venezia’s Educational Program
at the Russian Pavilion in the Giardini
for the Biennale Architettura 2025
As the Central Pavilion in the Giardini will not be available for the 19th International Architecture Exhibition (May 10 – November 23) due to the renovation work included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) of the Italian Ministry of Culture (MIC), La Biennale di Venezia has sought an alternative venue for its Educational activities. These activities, traditionally held during the Exhibition, are an essential and highly attended program aimed at fostering education and creativity among younger generations.
To this end, following a request from La Biennale and a collaboration agreement, the Russian Federation will make the Russian Pavilion in the Giardini available for the entire duration of the Biennale Architettura 2025. This initiative provides an opportunity for cooperation and visibility for activities dedicated to universities, schools, families, and the general public as part of La Biennale’s Educational program.
The Russian Federation has owned the Pavilion since 1914 and has participated almost uninterruptedly in the International Art and Architecture Exhibitions of La Biennale ever since. In 2021, as a confirmation of its long-term commitment, it carried out major restoration work on the building, which earned it a special mention by the International Jury of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition.
