The museum, from the critical perspective of both Guy Debord like of Giorgio Agamben, is indicated as that space where the artwork becomes an object of mere contemplation and a devitalized object, to the extent that it loses its meaning connection with the living world and the space common to all men. In other words, it is designated as a space that ends up "museifying" artworks, that is, devitalizing them and emptying them of meaning, to the extent that they are separated from life. What we will do in the essay is to explore the scope and meaning of this critique of the museum as a separate sphere that maintains the abyss between art and life. As well as analyzing the way in which this rejection of the museum will transform, in the mid-nineties, into a perspective of radical criticism of museification that, in Agamben's opinion, is one of the trends that characterizes and defines the societies of consummate show and that concerns the city before that nothing.
