Museum & Galleries

In summary

Museum and gallery lighting balances conservation against effective display, and shapes the mood of a space across the whole visitor journey from entrance to exit. Performance, colour temperature and rendering, efficacy, damage factors and maintenance all bear on the result.

Museum and gallery lighting must strike a delicate balance between conservation and effective display. Lighting can dramatically alter the mood of an exhibition space and plays a vital role in the entire visitor journey from entrance to exit. Attention must be paid to lighting performance, aesthetics, colour temperature and colour rendering, as well as efficacy, maintenance, damage factors and longevity.
