Serbian pavilion


The Serbian pavilion is a national pavilion of the Venice Biennale arts festivals. It houses Serbia's national representation.

Background

Organization and building

The pavilion was originally designed by Italian architect Brenno [Del Giudice] in 1932 and built in 1938 as part of a new expansion of the complex on the Giardini's Sant'Elena Island. Two buildings were built next to each other, originally allocated to Sweden and Greece, but were later permanently transferred to Yugoslavia and Romania. The pavilion has the inscription "JUGOSLAVIA" in large block letters above the entrance.
Artists from the former Yugoslavia participated in the Biennale from 1938 to 1990. Following the breakup of the country in the early 1990s, four new countries which declared independence began exhibiting separately, and the pavilion was inherited by Serbia and Montenegro and after that by Serbia.
