#Abstract
The house museums play an important role in the conservation and promotion of intangible heritage, to a greater extent than other types of museums. They are custodians of intangible heritage that is visible through the exhibition of a series of objects that do not acquire sense in their individual contemplation, but as part of a cultural system in which they interact and reveal human existence in its private dimension. The exhibitions mounted in the house museums make visible, through the recovery or the evocation of areas, a number of aspects relating to a past culture, including furniture which plays a major role because it is the living expression of certain intangible values that have disappeared and can be revived, evoked or imagined in each of the areas of the house museum. Hence, furniture is studied as a work of art that goes beyond its aesthetic dimension analyzing how, apart from being material per se, just as a painting or sculpture, it has an added value that transcends their corporality. The furniture, as heritage, has a material and immaterial aspect. The material aspect was derived from construction and decorative systems that a specific society designed as an exponent of their culture. The immaterial one lies in the fact that an object transmits functions and meanings of a particular society. Its fundamental value lies in its ability to symbolize, because it is an instrument, media and support for multiple meanings. The furniture, in the context of an exhibition, reveals the ceremonies and behaviour associated with the life cycle, the bipolarity of spaces (public and private) and gender (masculine versus feminine) and the etiquette and conventions, but it is also an exponent of freedom and creative imagination. By witnessing past ways of life, it is in the context of a house museum that it acquires its true meaning. This idea is explained by some outstanding examples of installations in house museums in Spain, state-owned and exclusively managed by the Ministry of Culture. Key words: House-museum.
