Abstract

The museum was born with modernity, rooted in the principle of historicity, that is to say, in the awareness of belonging to a historical time that looks to the past to define and legitimize itself as a moment of rupture with the previous legacy. The museum is, therefore, a pluriform and historically conditioned institutional artifact that exists because it fulfils a social function, even if it is not entirely clear or diaphanous. It is from this diachronic perspective, and the ontological weakness of the museum form itself, that the author analyses the disruptive museographic proposal made almost 25 years ago by the Valencian Museum of Illustration and Modernity (MuVIM).
