Summary/Abstract: This paper explores scenography as an art and traces its evolution from being an applied art to an independent art form, examining various dimensions. Theoretical perspectives analyze its presence in theoretical literature and theatrical dictionaries. Peculiar emphasis is placed on practical aspects, particularly the Prague Quadrennial, a significant event focusing on scenography, alongside global and regional practices. Additionally, the study delves into the development of this art form locally, exploring different concepts related to scenography. It also investigates the distinctions between the terms scenography and stage/scene design in our country, the region, and globally with a special focus on comparisons with English terminology. Throughout, parallels between theatrical performance and exhibition contexts are drawn, highlighting the contrasting roles of directors and curators.
