For the theater formerly known as The Mosque, see
Altria Theater.
The Mosque was an art installation by
Christoph Büchel at the
2015 Venice Biennale. Hosted by the Icelandic pavilion, the artist opened a functioning
mosque within a disused church in Venice to bring attention to the lack of historic mosque in the city. Amidst the ensuing controversy, the installation was shut down in the interest of public safety.
