The Greek participation at the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale 2014 entitled "Tourism Landscapes: Remaking Greece", currently hosted at the Acropolis Museum, will remain on view until April 19.
100 years of Greek tourism architecture meet the Greek public for the first time. Curated by the Greek Commissioner Yannis Aesopos, architect and professor of architecture, and organized by the Greek Ministry of the Environment, the exhibition perceives tourism as a vehicle of modernization of Greece through the emergence of constructed tourism landscapes: hotels and resorts, organized beaches, archaeological sites and museums, public space designs and infrastructure facilities, exploring at the same time how the Greek national identity (re)shapes and enhances through the contact with the "other", the global element, which the activity of tourism presupposes. The exhibition is open to the public during Museum opening times, with free entry.
