Le Stanze del Vetro
1912-1930 Murano Glass and the Venice Biennale
A big congratulations goes to Marino Barovier for curating his thirteenth exhibition at Le Stanze del Vetro. His new exhibition 1912-1930 Murano Glass and the Venice Biennale - until November 24 - it is dedicated to the presence of Murano glass at the prestigious Venetian event, examining the period from 1912 to 1930 - from the 10th to the 17th edition of the Biennale - through a carefully chosen selection of 135 works, many of which very rare, from prestigious museums and private collections.

During this period, Murano glass gradually made its way into the Biennale spaces; first, through the artists choosing to use this extraordinary material for their works, then thanks to the opening of the Applied Arts event which was held in various rooms, together with the so-called Fine Arts, in the Palazzo dell’Esposizione until 1930. It was not until 1932, following the construction of a new pavilion, that glass and the applied arts had their own dedicated venue in the Giardini.
