| Summary: | This text consists of an analysis of the temporary exhibition, In the Presence of Things. Four centuries of European Still-Life Painting. Part 2: 19th-20th Centuries (1840-1955), shown in the Exhibition Gallery of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum headquarters (Lisbon). Deriving from the idea that the act of exhibiting involves an overall perception, and the thorough procedures which underlie it, defined as the product of combining conceptual and practical aspects, this approach emphasizes some aspects that mediate this huge and complex path. For this purpose, we have chosen as a background the bibliography published about the display, its cycle of conferences, and the interview with Mariano Piçarra, Calouste Gulbenkian Museum designer and creator of the museographic project contemplated herein.
