Czech and Slovak pavilion, National pavilion at Venice Biennale in Giardini Park, Italy.

The Czech and Slovak pavilion is a national pavilion building in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale. Architect Otakar Novotný designed it in 1926 for Czechoslovakia, drawing on Cubism and European functionalism. The structure has a rectangular plan with a central exhibition hall and two side rooms, lit by a large skylight.

Otakar Novotný designed the pavilion for Czechoslovakia in 1926, drawing on Cubism and European functionalism. The building carries a red marble portico and a copper-plated entrance gate with Rondo-Cubist ornament. After the 1993 split of Czechoslovakia, the pavilion has served the Czech Republic and Slovakia jointly.

The pavilion's national representation has alternated between the Czech Republic and Slovakia since their 1993 split. Exhibitions have featured artists such as František Skála in 1993, Roman Ondak in 2009, and Stanislav Kolíbal in 2019. In 2024, Eva Koťátková represented the countries with curator Hana Janečková.

This pavilion is accessible during the Biennale season, held every two years in Venice. Visiting hours follow the main exhibition schedule, so plan your visit accordingly.

The pavilion was designed by Otakar Novotný in 1926 for Czechoslovakia, and the building still carries the Italian form 'Cecoslovacchia' on its facade. It stands in the Giardini among the other national pavilions. Czechoslovakia's first showing there was in 1926, with Charlotte Schrötter-Radnitz.
