For this, a method of comparative study of cases is adopted, with a sample of two international cases of art exhibition, in which a qualitative analysis of contents of the exhibition is carried out, according to the variable of the internal information devices in the room and the contents of these. The cases of the sample are: the exhibition Itinerarios del vertigo by Sandra Silva, at the Art Museum of Pereira, in Pereira (Colombia), in 2015, and the exhibition of Concrete Invention.Collection of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, at the National Museum Center of Art "Reina Sofía", in Madrid (Spain), in 2013.
