HELPING YOU TELL YOUR STORY WITH LIGHT

Accent on display

Lighting plays a vital role in guiding visitors through their museum or gallery experience; the moment a visitor sees the exterior façade, the journey has begun. From creating anticipation on arrival to communicating drama or contemplation within the exhibition space, lighting has a key role to play:

  • It can be used to alter the mood of the exhibition space
  • It can be used to draw the eye to stunning artwork and sculptures
  • The subtle play of light and dark can be used to guide the visitor’s journey from entrance to exit

The lighting of museums and gallery spaces needs to highlight and accentuate the texture, colour and shape of exhibits, whether they are historic artefacts, modern art, 2D paintings or 3D sculptures.
The play of light and dark can be used to great effect in display environments. Dramatic tension can be created in a darkened exhibition space thanks to narrow beams of light cutting through the darkness, drawing the visitors’ gaze to the pieces on display.
