Abstract: This article explores and systematizes the exhibition of chandeliers as the unique art objects within the museum space, as well as reveals the peculiarities in comparison with the interior space. The subject of this research is the display of such multi-component item of decorative and applied art as chandelier in the modern exhibition projects. Based on a range of exhibitions held in the XX and XXI centuries dedicated exclusively to chandeliers and ceiling lights, the author conducts their classification, and reveals the peculiarities of displaying chandeliers in such projects. The representative examples of exhibition projects are considered. This article is to analyze and systematize the experience of exhibiting chandeliers, which is especially relevant because the topic of studying chandeliers as part of the interior is of particular interest among not only scientists, but the artists and curators as well. The conclusion is made that in the most successful projects, the chandeliers are displayed at eye level of the visitors, which allows studying more details about the item. Chandeliers are displayed either as the unique objects, or together with other antique and luxury items, harmonizing on the formal stylistic or historical level, and indicating the modes of stylistic perception of the interior as a reflection of culture of a certain era.
