Seeing Venice and...

This exhibition at Schloss Britz traces the evolution of Venice's image from the late 19th century to the present day. Through selected historical exhibits and contemporary art, it explores the city's identity as a romantic dream destination. The display also addresses the reality of 'tourist overkill' and the looming threat of environmental decay. Venice has long been a synonym for both cultural splendor and tragic decline, a duality highlighted throughout the gallery. Visitors are invited to reflect on how our collective perception of this iconic city has been constructed and transformed over time.
