Romanian Pavilion
The Romanian pavilion houses Romania's national representation during the Venice Biennale arts festivals. Background Organization and building The pavilion was designed by Brenno Del Giudice in 1932 and built by 1938 as part of a complex on the Giardini's Sant'Elena Island.

The initial architecture was recreated in 2015, albeit temporarily, by architect Attila Kim for Adrian Ghenie's ''Darwin's Room''. Since 1997, the Romanian Institute for Culture and Research in Humanities (also known as ''Casa Romena di Venezia'', based in Palazzo Correr) has hosted intermitten ...
