The “International Art Exhibition of La Biennale de Venezia”, established in 1895, is the most long-standing art biennial and one of the three major art exhibitions worldwide. Considered the largest international platform for contemporary artistic exchange, the event attracted over 800,000 tourists and art aficionados from around the world in 2022. It has been the eighth time that MAM has participated in this artistic event under the name of “Macao, China” since 2007.
