Venetian Architecture Exhibition - (Venice, Italy) $100,000

( Wastebook 2010 )

For some people a trip to Venice exploring the world of art is a dream vacation. For some employees of the State Department, it is just another day at the office. The State Department spent $100,000 for "curators at nonprofit museums, galleries and arts and architecture schools [to] travel and display their works" at an architecture exhibition in Venice, Italy. The Venice Biennale of Architecture 2010 was held between August 29 and November 21, 2 010. Instead of dabbling in the world of architecture, perhaps the government should focus on constructing a sound federal budget.
