Qatar has announced that it will establish a permanent national pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale, the historic venue of La Biennale di Venezia since 1895. With this addition, Qatar becomes one of only 31 countries with a permanent pavilion in the Giardini, joining a select group of nations with dedicated exhibition spaces. Only two new national pavilions have opened there in the past 50 years, including Australia in 1988 and the Republic of Korea in 1996. The new Qatar Pavilion will serve as a lasting platform for showcasing the country's artistic and architectural contributions, with rotating exhibitions presented during each edition of the Biennale.
