The Art Explora Festival is an itinerant festival that travels the seas and oceans of the world thanks to its museum boat to offer innovative artistic and cultural experiences accessible free of charge. From spring 2024 to autumn 2026, the festival will travel for its first tour of 15 countries in the Mediterranean. On the occasion of the 60th International Art Biennial, the museum ship will drop anchor in Venice from 17 to 22 April, at Riva Sette Martiri, a stone's throw from the Giardini. Adorned with its large quay sails designed by Laure Prouvost, the museum boat resonates with "Foreigners Everywhere", the theme of this 60th Biennial, as well as with the universal message that the foundation carries through its cultural odyssey in the Mediterranean: art goes beyond borders.
