Abstract

This article discusses curatorial practices used in the exhibition of “ordinary   objects�, referring to all those artefacts that are used by people in their everyday lives, which now constitute museographic samples. Art museums, are beginning to collect contemporary objects relevant to a variety of contexts, such as, social, political or economocial.
This article presents ideas about the experience involved in this type of exhibitions, based on a visit made by the author to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which nowadays is developing a collection of ordinary objects.
