Spanish term

la intención museográfica

Spanish to English Art/Literary Journalism Article about an artist
Context:

En otros casos se explicita * la intención museográfica* de que ciertas piezas de claro estatus etnográfico (artefacto/abrecartas, artefacto/libro, artefacto/ladrillo, artefacto/souvenir) se incluyan en un aura fetichizante que las predispone a ser leídas bajo códigos diferentes a los que demanda el uso corriente de esos objetos.

are intended for display

I don't disagree with "museographic", but this is a plain-English alternative. I'm also not clear what the text is about, but I assume they look like everyday objects but are actually created with art galleries in mind.
