Since 1938 the British Council has been responsible for the British Pavilion in Venice, showing British artists at the longest-running, most prestigious international art biennial in the world: the Venice Biennale of Art. From 1991 the British Pavilion has also been home to architecture exhibitions in the alternate years to the Art Biennale. On this site you can explore the rich history of the British Pavilion from 1895, including archive images, exhibition catalogues, essays, audio and film recordings, and links to more recent collateral presentations from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
