These are three very large adjoining areas with a total of 3.500 sq meters. They have been fully restored, with a total respect for the original architectural structure, promoting the bright, wide vaults, which are characteristic of the spaces. The construction of these three awe-inspiring areas began in 1525, along the northern wall of the Arsenal during the development of the “Arsenale Novissimo”. Constructed as “water vaults” (aquatic work-sites), they maintained such characteristics, up and until landfilling, begun in 1880.
Modular stands starting from 6 sq meters up to 128 sq meters.
Equipment: electricity 1,5kw, standard furnishings
In addition to the space dedicated to the nautical exhibition there are bars and restaurants, a relaxation area, an area dedicated to the “Voga alla Veneta”, exhibitions of the Biennale Arte 2019 and spaces for meetings and private events.
There will be events and entertainment for children and families, visits to the “Dandolo” submarine, to the Naval History Museum and to the Padiglione delle Navi, sailing and Venetian rowing performances, artisanal handicraft and traditional products linked to the Venetian navy and nautical competitions.
