Shedding Light on Exhibitions

     Wednesday October 18, 2006

 

Exhibition lighting that addresses both aesthetics and preservation considerations is an attainable accomplishment. This session will focus on integrating preservation-safe lighting criteria with viewing concerns such as contrast, reflection, brightness, and color. Lighting systems for room display and exhibit cases will be discussed. Case studies will highlight lighting concepts and solutions illustrating the range of technology options.

Under Cover:  Exhibit Cases that Preserve

     Thursday, October 19, 2006

 

A conservation-grade exhibit case is a well-designed and carefully fabricated display enclosure, and an important and cost-effective tool for exhibiting collections. This session will cover assessing the criteria for hazard-free exhibits;  selecting safe exhibit materials and isolation barriers; controlling pollutants; developing safe environmental conditions; and monitoring and maintaining exhibits after installation. Purchasing new cases, as well as retrofitting existing cases, will be discussed. Case studies will be used to illustrate successful and innovative case design from the small institution to the most celebrated museums of the world.
