Egyptian pavilion, National pavilion at Giardini, Venice, Italy
The Egyptian pavilion features a rectangular main room with two adjacent smaller spaces and an extended entrance façade within the Venice Biennale complex.
Originally built in 1932 by architect Brenno Del Giudice, the structure served as the Swiss pavilion until 1952 before becoming the permanent Egyptian exhibition space.
The pavilion presents 'Drama 1882' for the 2024 Biennale, examining the Urabi revolution through a musical film created by Alexandria-born artist Wael Shawky.
The Egyptian Ministry of Culture and Academy of Egypt manage this exhibition space, which remains open to visitors throughout the Venice Biennale from April to November.
In 1995, the Egyptian pavilion received the Golden Lion award for best national participation, marking a significant achievement in the country's Biennale history.
