Pier 2/3

Pier 2/3 was built in the early 1900s and is located in Sydney’s historic waterfront precinct Walsh Bay. It is also Sydney’s last wharf structure in its original state. Since the Biennale of Sydney first used the Pier in 1986, it has become a major venue partner for the exhibition. It’s well-earned reputation as an engaging non-museum space and exciting venue for contemporary culture will be underscored by the 16th Biennale of Sydney exhibition.
