Born as a temple of muses, the museum can be perceived as the holder of the keys to beauty, reality and sustainability.
But before its steles and picture rails, what is consecrated and what is forgotten, symbolic authority and political power, eternity dreamed of and real fragility all intersect, from artistic masterpieces to everyday objects, from the historic house to contemporary scenographic frameworks.
This dissertation questions the narrative capacity of the museum as a factory of meaning and stories where identities, values, and hierarchies are built.
At the intersection of the history of art, museum studies and design, this dissertation considers the role of the interior architect and the museum designer as mediators of contemporary transformations.
