LTStraipsnyje, pasitelkus aprašomąjį, analitinį bei lyginamąjį metodus, analizuojami dviejų 2013 metais Italijoje (Venecijoje) ir Lietuvoje (Vilniuje) rekonstruotų parodų pavyzdžiai. Visos parodos rekonstravimas, tiek kuratorinėje, tiek restauravimo (konservavimo) praktikose, iki šiol yra išskirtinai retas atvejis. Straipsnyje aptariami ne tik rekonstruotų parodų skirtumai, bet ir panašumui, susiję su jose eksponuotų (šiuolaikinio) meno kūrinių restauravimo specifika bei ypatumais.
