The Only Guide to This Year’s Venice Biennale You Will Ever Need

The 61st Venice Biennale opens amid significant turmoil. The entire jury of the International Art Exhibition resigned after a statement about withholding prizes from countries with leaders charged with crimes against humanity by the ICC, leading to the cancellation of the Golden Lion awards in favor of 'Visitors' Lions' to be given at the exhibition's end. The event has been further marred by the sudden death of artistic director Koyo Kouoh from liver cancer in early 2025, and the death of artist Henrike Naumann, who was set to debut work in the German pavilion. Additionally, the selection process for the American pavilion artist, Mexico-based sculptor Alma Allen, sparked controversy after a delayed grant application process.

louvre ticket price hike 2721236

The Louvre will raise ticket prices by 45 percent for non-E.U. visitors starting January 14, 2026, with tickets increasing to €32 ($37) for travelers from the U.S., U.K., and China, while E.U. visitors continue to pay €22. The price hike, announced on November 27, is expected to generate €15–20 million annually to fund modernization plans, following intense criticism over aging infrastructure and a $102 million jewel heist in October. The museum also faces structural issues, including the temporary closure of parts of its Sully wing due to fragile support beams, and has implemented an €80 million security master plan.

louvre launches design contest for 400 million expansion including a new room for mona lisa 2662261

The Louvre Museum in Paris has announced an architectural competition for a €400 million ($417 million) expansion, which includes a dedicated underground gallery for Leonardo da Vinci's *Mona Lisa* and a new entrance on the eastern facade near the Seine River. The project, dubbed a "New Renaissance" for the Louvre, follows a staff strike over overcrowding and an internal memo from director Laurence des Cars citing crumbling infrastructure. A 21-person international jury will select the winning design in October, with the aim of easing congestion at I.M. Pei's iconic glass pyramid entrance and providing a separate timed-entry space for the *Mona Lisa*.
