Biennale Art Exhibiotn in Venice

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Venice for the world famous Biennale Art Exhibition!  It is an exhibition that takes place every 2 years showcasing up and coming artists from all around the world.  The Biennale was started in 1894 by the Venetian City Council.  The exhibition is centered in two areas of Venice; the Giardini, which houses pavilions for each country in which that countries art is displayed, as well as the beautiful and old Arsenale, home to large instillation done by up and coming artists.  To say it was breathtaking would be an understatement.  All of the art overwhelmed my senses and was the most inspiring experience I have had in Italy thus far.  On top of all of the wonderful art, Venice itself was inspiring.  It appeared just as quaint and beautiful as I ever imagined.  One day was not enough to take in all of Venice. I will most definitely travel back to explore the city more later in the year.
