The paradox of museum lighting is that the same spectral energy used to illuminate museum displays also causes fragile materials like pigment, fabric, wood, and metal to deteriorate.  This presentation will provide insight into how to utilize IES’s new Recommended Practice for Museum Lighting (RP-30-17) to deal with the conundrum of preserving light sensitive materials while providing a dynamic visitor experience.  This presentation will be richly illustrated showing how to employ light so museums may be better seen, understood and experienced.  Participants to this webinar are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
