In town for the Venice Biennale and trying to figure your way around the show? We’ve got you covered.

We asked illustrator and artist Susan Coyne to put together maps of the Arsenale and the Giardini and to illustrate a few helpful tips for first-timers (or anyone looking for a refresher) on what to see and do in La Serenissima.
