Discover this year's Venice Biennale with Christie's - a name that speaks of extraordinary art, unparalleled service and expertise.
Designed to guide you around the labyrinthine alleys and canals of Venice to find exactly what you are looking for at the world’s greatest international art event, Christie's Biennale App is the perfect companion for the Venice Art Biennale.

Events – what is happening, where and when? A calendar of both official and fringe events with map locations
Bars and Restaurants – find and contact bars and restaurants to make that notoriously elusive Venetian dinner reservation
My Biennale - save favourite locations and events to your own personalised Biennale map and list schedule

About Biennale - background information on the world’s biggest international arts festival
Concerns about using a data connection broad to access this app
All content outside of the map view is embedded in the app, viewable offline and in list format (ie pavilions, events and restaurants).
The map is not embedded. However, if you have viewed the map with a data connection once anywhere in the world, the view you have looked at will have been cached and so you will not need to download it again, ie in Venice it will reappear just as you have seen it wherever you are at present. You can of course also access your data connection briefly in Venice and view the map once to achieve this. Scroll across the whole map at the zoom level you require when you have 3G coverage and that view will be accessible to you whenever you use the app again, without requiring data connection.
The only thing that will be denied you if you choose not to connect to the internet in Venice is the Twitter feed, which will update users with new events as information on them become available.
