Beautiful museum lighting

Versatile significance of museum lighting

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

Museums are designed to showcase the most valuable pieces of cultural art. The way in which the art is presented has a great influence on your perception as a viewer.

There are many areas to be illuminated:

• Outdoor area, 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 support 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 premises, it is also recommended to illuminate them from below using the practical ground spotlights.

Both classic and modern outdoor wall luminaires are also beautiful, creating effective lighting effects and making the outdoor lighting of the museum façade something special.

The 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, which fills the hall and lets you marvel before the exhibitions are even visible.

Modern ceiling lighting, and more specifically special pendant lights, 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 placement of the artwork, suitable lighting plays a key role in the presentation, because no matter how stunning the art may be, without the right lighting you won't be able to recognize its true beauty.

Protection against optical radiation

However, protection is the most important factor when dealing with art, especially paintings. Not all 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 as far as possible.Light-object relationship in the showroom

It's not just about making the art visible in the first place, but also about staging each individual piece. Targeted lighting helps to convey the desired effect. Showcase your artwork with LED spotlights. The swiveling spotlights allow for individual alignment and targeted emphasis of artworks through lighting.

Museum lighting for authentic art

Precise color rendering is important when lighting museums and exhibitions. In art, color is a central design element and is never chosen at random. The colors chosen by the artist should be seen by you, the viewer, exactly as they were intended.

Art should be perceived realistically and its colors should not be altered by light exposure. The museum lights we recommend are ideal for this purpose.

Ceiling lighting for basic brightness

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

Stair lighting in the museum

Stair lighting is also essential in most multi-story buildings. On the one hand, of course, for the safety of visitors. On the other hand, you must not ignore the design aspect. Step lighting in combination with another light source creates a unique atmosphere and contributes to the overall artistic impression.

In a well-designed space such as 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.
