Study: Assessment of lighting for Pablo Picasso's “Harlequin” (1916)
Creating perfect centre-stage settings for precious exhibits in museums and art galleries involves not only complying with architectural and artistic demands but also taking conservation requirements into account.

On behalf of Zumtobel, the Darmstadt University of Technology has tested the quality of various light sources on the basis of a real work of art. The study revealed: using advanced LED technology reduces UV and IR radiation, keeps the colour temperature constant during dimming, and increases energy efficiency while reducing the risk of damage to works of art.
