Museum and exhibition lighting

Abstract

When considering indoor lighting, a museum has unique requirements in terms of the quality of illumination needed, taking into account that it may host a variety of different activities simultaneously. This article will consider these requirements, developing a particular focus on exhibition lighting in museums. It will not be limited to conservation issues and problems of visual ergonomics, which are objective factors, but it will also emphasize the role played by lighting as an element influencing subjective factor, similar to other elements of scenography.
