Abstract

Scenography plays an important role in the contemporary context of museums; however, there are some misconceptions and prejudices concerning the outdated idea that limits scenography to representation, simulation, and theatricality. At present museums increasingly invest in flexible spaces that can be modified and adjusted to any new curatorial project. The scenography of exhibitions is a resource built in a space to offer the visitor a sensitive experience of a chosen content through color, pathways, and images. This article analyzes scenography in its historical dimension presenting a panorama of its development in theater and its contemporary use in Museology.
