From 28 March to 26 September 2010, the National Museum of Villa Pisani in Stra (Venice) is hosting the exhibition Venetian Nineteenth Century – Contemporary Venetian promoted by the Architectural and Landscape Heritage Superintendancy for the provinces of Venice, Belluno, Padua and Treviso, organised by Munus in partnership with the Region of Veneto and curated by Myriam Zerbi, responsible for the nineteenth-century section, and Costantino D’Orazio, for the Contemporary section.

Housed both in the interiors of Villa Pisani and in its park, the exhibition illustrates the focal role played by Venice in training, welcoming and inspiring artists from the nineteenth century to the present day. A visit to the exhibition is organised in two distinct nuclei: the nineteenth-century works will be on show in the villa’s wide corridors, while the works of a series of contemporary young artists will dialogue with the park.
