The 19th Venice Biennale will be held from May 24 to Nov. 23 in 2025, led by Carlo Ratti, architect and professor who teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at the Politecnico di Milano.

The Korean Pavilion, founded in 1995 and the last national pavilion to open at the Venice Biennale, will commemorate its 30th anniversary next year.

The biennale hosts art and architecture exhibitions every other year. The 60th Venice Biennale of the international art exhibition kicked off April 20, running through Nov. 24.
