The Armenian National Pavilion continues to operate in the Magazzino del Sale 3 exhibition hall as part of the 60th Venice Biennale, displaying the “Nina Khemchyan: Echo” multimedia project. The organizer and main sponsor of the Armenian National Pavilion in 2024 is the Cafesjian Center for the Arts (CCA).

The pavilion has hosted more than 15,000 visitors since its opening day. Many visitors left notes in the book of reviews, emphasizing their impressions about the influence of the spiritual, philosophical, emotional, and artistic layers of the pavilion. The book of reviews currently contains about 80 pages of notes in Armenian, Italian, English, Russian, French, and other languages, full of words of thanks, best wishes, personal experiences, and congratulations.

It should be noted that due to the cooperation between the Cafesjian Art Center and the European Academy of Venice, a number of Armenian students and members of the Armenian community living in Venice were given the opportunity to complete an internship at the Armenian National Pavilion of the 60th Venice Biennale and work within the framework of the “Nina Khemchyan: Echo” exhibition.
