The Milk of Dreams – General set-up

On November 27, the 59th Venice International Art Exhibition ended: it was a very successful edition – the most visited in the 127-year history of the Biennale, with 800,000 tickets sold -, capable of soliciting profound reflections.

The title of the Biennale Arte 2022 derives from the homonymous book by Leonora Carrington, in which we find a magical world where imagination reigns over the very concept of identity.

For the occasion, we offer you a virtual tour through our main creations for the iconic locations of the Arsenale and the Central Pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale.
