National Archaeological Museum of Venice- Historical courtyard and room 5
On the occasion of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2025, the National Archaeological Museum of Venice hosts the exhibition LINES by the Japanese artist KengoKito, curated by Masahito Kito and organized by “anonymous art project”.
In LINES, Kengo Kito’s site-specific installations suggest to the audience interesting reflections on the connection between art and architecture, in particular between Ancient Roman artworks, the result of centuries of Venetian collecting, and the genius of Vincenzo Scamozzi, the Renaissance architect who designed the historic courtyard of the Archaeological Museum. Kengo Kito’s project enriches the dialogue between eras and architectural forms with a modernist gesture that also winks at the decorative pattern of the Byzantine architecture of the nearby Basilica of San Marco.
Kengo Kito’s intervention helps to announce, after years, the reopening of the historical courtyard of the National Archaeological Museum, where the sculpture of Marco Vipsanio Agrippa stands out.
Entrance : Piazzetta San Marco, 17
Opening hours: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Ph.Credits: Joan Porcel
