MUDE Santa Maria Maior · Lisbon

At MUDE, this long-term exhibition revisits the history of design and presents Portuguese design in context and as a design process, asking how and why products are designed, communicated, perceived and consumed.

Full details

Synopsis Due to maintenance work in the museum space, online sales are suspended from 7 July 2026 to 19 July 2026. However, tickets can be purchased at the on-site box office. The exhibition “What Are Things For?” aims to reread the history of design and present Portuguese design in context and as a design process. More than showing the design icons in the MUDE collection, it seeks to question how and why products are designed, communicated, perceived and consumed. The chronological organisation allows visitors to go back to the dawn of the 20th century and establish open dialogues between the design pieces and the documentation, highlighting the issues common to different eras and inviting debate on past practices and their projection into the future of each period. The exhibition design poses a new challenge to museography by prioritising the reuse of various materials from the MUDE building works that, having no use, would otherwise go to waste. This curatorial decision minimises waste and the amount of refuse, investing in the idea of promoting a circular economy, making the exhibition solution a real manifestation of the museum’s intention to debate today’s consumer society and the need to implement the values of economic degrowth.

Sinopse Por motivos de manutenção do espaço museológico, as vendas online estão suspensas de 07 de Julho de 2026 a 19 de Julho de 2026. Porém os bilhetes poderão ser adquiridos na bilheteria local A exposição " Para que servem as coisas?" pretende reler a história do design e apresentar o design português em contexto e como processo projetual. Mais do que mostrar os ícones do design existentes no acervo do MUDE procura-se questionar como e porquê os produtos são desenhados, comunicados, percecionados, consumidos. A organização cronológica permite recuar ao dealbar do século XX e estabelecer diálogos abertos entre as peças de design e a documentação, evidenciando as problemáticas transversais às diferentes épocas e convidando ao debate sobre as práticas do passado e a sua projeção no futuro de cada época. O desenho expositivo lança um novo desafio à museografia ao priorizar a reutilização de vários materiais da obra do edifício do MUDE que, não tendo utilidade, iriam para o lixo. Esta decisão curatorial permite reduzir ao máximo o desperdício e a quantidade de resíduos, investindo na ideia de promover uma economia circular, fazendo da solução expositiva uma manifestação real da intenção museológica de se debater a atual sociedade de consumo e a necessidade de se implementar os valores de decrescimento económico.
