Versatile importance of museum lighting

A museum is the focal point for art. Although this is located inside the museum walls, the building itself should also be seen as a piece of art.

Museums are intended to display the most valuable cultural works of art. The way in which the art is presented has a major influence on your perception as a viewer.

There are many areas to be illuminated:

• Exterior, possibly garden
• facade
• General lighting
• Targeted staging of an exhibition: paintings, sculptures, etc.
• Staircase lighting
  

Illumination of the museum building from the outside

Depending on the chosen style, the lighting should emphasize the grandeur or modernity of the architecture.

Outdoor spotlights aimed at the museum walls and illuminating the building like a work of art in its own right are suitable for this purpose. If there are plants on the grounds, it is also recommended to illuminate them from below using the practical ground spotlights.

Both classic and modern outdoor wall-mounted luminaires also look great, creating effective lighting effects and turning the outdoor lighting of the museum façade into something special.

Museum lighting in the interior

Depending on the room or area, you can achieve a certain mood with the light intensity and color. In general, however, a bright light is usually desired in the foyer when you first enter the building, filling the hall and leaving you amazed before the exhibitions can even be seen.

Modern ceiling lighting, and more specifically special pendant luminaires, are suitable for this. Pendant lamps are particularly impressive in high rooms, as they attract attention and fit perfectly into the artistic ambience. This makes pendant luminaires the ideal gallery and foyer lighting for museums.

Light in the art exhibition

In addition to the correct positioning of the artworks, suitable lighting plays a key role in the presentation, because no matter how overwhelming the art may be - without the right lighting, you won't even be able to recognize its true beauty.

Protection from optical radiation

The most important thing when dealing with art, and paintings in particular, is protection. Not every light is suitable, and there are certain regulations that must be met to ensure that the art is not damaged.

The duration and intensity of lighting must be taken into account. UV and infrared radiation should be avoided wherever possible.light-object relationship in the showroom

It is not just a question of being able to see the art in the first place, but also of staging each individual piece of art. Targeted lighting helps to convey the desired effect. Set the scene for the artworks with LED spotlights. The swivel-mounted spotlights enable individual alignment and the targeted accentuation of artworks through lighting.

Museum lighting for unadulterated art

When it comes to museum and exhibition lighting, exact color rendering is important. In art, color is a central design element and is never chosen at random. Just as the artist has chosen the colors, you as the viewer should also be able to see them.

The art should be perceived realistically and must not be altered in color by light. The museum luminaires we suggest are ideal for this purpose.

Ceiling lighting for basic brightness

The use of several light sources is always recommended. This makes particular sense for museum lighting. In addition to spotlights, modern ceiling lighting can therefore fill the aisles with brightness without directly illuminating anything. LEDceiling lights can often be dimmed if this is desired in an exhibition area.

Staircase lighting in a museum

Staircase lighting is also indispensable in most multi-storey buildings. On the one hand, of course, for the safety of visitors. On the other hand, you must not forget the design aspect. Staircase lighting in combination with another light source creates a unique atmosphere and contributes to the overall artistic picture.

In a well-designed place like a museum, the lighting concept should not be left to chance. Accent lighting and the use of multiple light sources create a pleasant atmosphere. There are no limits to creativity when it comes to lighting.
