Canadian pavilion explained

The Canadian pavilion houses Canada's national representation during the Venice Biennale arts festivals.

Organization and building

The Canadian pavilion was designed by the Italian architects BBPR and erected between 1956 and 1957. Its architecture is more distinct than the nearby pavilions. Inside, its rooms unfold in a spiral of open and closed spaces.

The nation has been participating in the international exhibition since 1952.[1] The National Gallery of Canada took over the Venice selection process from the Canada Council in 2010.

Representation by year

Since 1952 Canada has been represented at every Venice Biennale.
