As part of the Venice Biennale, works by Azerbaijani artists are being exhibited at Palazzo da Mula, AzerNEWS reports.

The exhibition features works by Asmar Narimanbayova, as well as renowned artist Margarita Kerimova-Sokolova, an Azerbaijani compatriot based in Germany, alongside works by young Azerbaijani artists.

"All the works were presented in digital format. The vibrant and emotionally expressive creations of the young artists breathed a unique vitality and a fresh artistic spirit into the historic halls, which are rich in museum exhibits," Asmar Narimanbayova said.

The exhibition also includes works by artists from Georgia and Turkiye.

Palazzo da Mula is a Venetian villa located on the island of Murano in the Venetian Lagoon, in the San Pietro Martire district, on the southern bank of the Canale degli Angeli, near the Ponte Vivarini bridge leading to San Donato, the main area of Murano.

The palace is the last surviving example of the Venetian villas built on the island of Murano during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Today, the building houses a branch of the Municipality of Venice serving the islands of Murano and Burano, as well as the local civil registry office.

The palace's piano nobile (main floor) is used as a venue for cultural events.
