This thesis focuses on the multidisciplinary field of investigation of different kinds of house and atelier museum and explores the approach generating narrative spaces with tangible and intangible heritage.

(In Jacob M J and Grabner M eds, The Studio Reader: On the Space of Artists, 2010). These categories alone demonstrate a demythologizing approach to the studio, replacing notions of interiority, seclusion, and alchemical transformation with notions of stage and performance, theatricality, and the general everyday life and work.

The main idea of such musealisations is to freeze what exists and to open it to the public.

Abstract
This thesis focuses on the multidisciplinary field of investigation of different kinds of house and atelier museum and explores the approach generating narrative spaces with tangible and intangible heritage. When a historic house is converted into a historic house museum, its function changes from one of domesticity to one that corresponds with the ideas and values held by those that pursue instituting a museum. The main target personalities whose houses and ateliers are considered for research are the creative fabers: artist, sculptors, architects, stylists, designers, musicians, poets, writers, etc belonging to the 19th-20th Century mostly in Europe.This project deals with the studio and home, the creative workshop, spaces that have been shaped by those who have lived in them, making the environments immersive. This also represents the cultural fabric and social heritage of a territory. The establishment of historic house museums was a testament to the role of popular history of famous personalities and public figures and the early models affected the way these museums would grow in the future.The main expected result on a large scale started from mapping of the House museums of typology in Italy and Europe along with the analysis of some significant case studies.In the course of this research, we study about the networks of house museums across the world, Europe and Italy in particular and subsequently categorise them into the following categories: "The House/Studio as Resource"; "The House/Studio as Set and Setting"; "The House/Studio as Stage"; "The House/Studio as Lived-In Space"; and "The House/Studio as Space and Non-Space." (In Jacob M J and Grabner M eds, The Studio Reader: On the Space of Artists, 2010). These categories alone demonstrate a demythologizing approach to the studio, replacing notions of interiority, seclusion, and alchemical transformation with notions of stage and performance, theatricality, and the general everyday life and work. In the chapters, we have tried to establish the relationship between art, artist and space and how this makes musealisation an elusive process. The main idea of such musealisations is to freeze what exists and to open it to the public. Accordingly, if not considered a work of art by the artist in its own right, the artist’s house is at least considered a valuable historical document to be treated with care, making concrete the typos of the artist’s house as mirror of the artist’s personality. This research intends to generate systemic insights multidisciplinary for the enhancement and use of the museum of the home and atelier of the Faber, a typology of multi-faceted and strategic cultural asset for the territory, but not sufficiently valued in Italy.
