Every other year, Venice becomes the center of the art world for @labiennale: Dubbed the ‘art Olympics’, from May to November, the city is overrun with hundreds of different art exhibitions with thousands of different artists.

Beyond the main Arsenale and Giardini vensues, Art Basel Stories’ Executive Editor @colinemilliard takes us to some lesser known but equally as exciting locations throughout the city.
