Czech and Slovak pavilion, National pavilion at Venice Biennale in Giardini Park, Italy.
The pavilion has a rectangular floor plan with a central exhibition space and two supporting rooms. Natural light enters through a large skylight above the main area.
Architect Otakar Novotny completed this structure in 1926 with distinctive design features. A red marble portico and copper-plated entrance gate display Rondo-Cubist decorative details.
The pavilion showcases contemporary art from either Czech or Slovak artists during each Venice Biennale. Each edition features a different nation's current creative work.
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 front facade displays the word 'Cecoslovacchia' carved into the stone from the building's original era. It sits directly among the French, British, and German pavilions in the same garden area.
