Museum angle

A light angle of 30 degrees is understood by the so -called museum angle. This is ideal for the lighting of the exhibits and perfectly stages them. Since the lighting of such an elementary meaning is particularly important in museums and therefore the angle must also be perfectly correct, the 30 degree angle was named directly after this cultural site.

If you disregard the museum angle or if the lamp is not provided, there may be disturbing strip light with a steeper angle of incidence, which creates long shadows on the sculpture or painting. If there is too much distance between the lamp and the exhibit, there is a risk that the viewer himself will throw unwanted shadows on it. All of this has to be prevented in order to give visitors a great experience.

In addition to the museum angle, the optical radiation must be observed when it comes to museum lighting, because if the light radiation is incorrect or too much light radiation, there can be damage to sensitive exhibits. Here it is important to take the radiation duration into account and to reduce or completely eliminate the UV radiation and infrared radiation. Not only in the securing or placement of the sometimes very old exhibits is high caution, but in museum lighting it is also important. There are international regulations and recommendations on which you can orient yourself.
