Dutch pavilion explained

The Dutch pavilion houses the Netherlands's national representation during the Venice Biennale arts festivals.

Organization and building

The pavilion, designed by Ferdinand Boberg, was originally built in 1912. It was later razed and rebuilt in 1953 by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld.

Since 1995, the Mondriaan Foundation has been responsible for the Dutch entry at the Biennale di Venezia, appointing a curator for each entry.
