The 2013 Venice Biennale attempts to capture the "unruly'' world of art with a rich diversity of unexpected sights and sounds. The world's largest non-commercial art exhibition features shows from 88 countries installed across the city. More than 150 artists are taking part in the Biennale, which has been running since 1895 and continues to attract artists, art-lovers and collectors from across the world.
