In recent years Venice in Peril Fund has supported exhibitions that share the extraordinary stories of Venice as a place of innovation and creativity. Exhibitions can help to explain the complex history of the city and extend our understanding of those significant moments which had an influence on artistic, political, entrepreneurial and industrial developments far beyond the Veneto.

Support of exhibitions began with the funding of conservation of individual paintings in preparation for major exhibitions. See the conservation of GB Piazzetta’s Guardian Angel with St Anthony of Padua and St Gaetano of Thiene, conserved for the Royal Academy’s Genius of Venice exhibition in 1994 and that of Veronese’s San Pantalon conserved for the Royal Academy’s Glory of Venice exhibition in 1982.

Sometimes a conservation project is linked with an exhibition. This was the case with the 2019 project to commission condition surveys, with photogrammetric and laser scans, of Tintoretto’s ceiling of the great hall at Scuola Grande di San Rocco, ahead of a planned project of conservation which, like the exhibitions, was initiated as part of the celebrations to mark 500 years since the artist’s birth in 1519.

Since 2013 Venice in Peril Fund has supported the exhibitions listed here. For further details refer to the museums.
