Museum Spaces

For lighting to be effective in museum/exhibit spaces, it must carefully balance exhibition and conservation needs while enriching the museum experience. Lighting issues such as proper illuminance, color, glare control, shadow reduction/elimination, object modeling, flexibility, safety & security and system control are key to successful museum lighting. Museum objects are often unique in size, shape, texture, and color and usually sensitive to damage from light (UV and IR). The design of lighting systems in these spaces is a "selective visibility" process deciding what, how and when something is seen.
