Museum lighting for outside: transform your outdoor space into a cultural experience

Lighting tools according to your needs

Inspiring museum experiences are not only shaped by exhibits displayed in exhibition rooms: the outdoor space as well as the architecture itself also determine visitors' lasting impressions. In outdoor spaces, too, the objective is to present art in ideal light—whether this be an atmospherically illuminated sculpture garden or a tantalizingly accentuated statue on the forecourt. Especially in times of social distancing, museum curators are faced with the challenge of integrating outdoor facilities into their exhibition concepts and using these for additional income. Discover new options for creating impressive outdoor museum experiences with light from ERCO.

3 reasons why you should think about outdoor lighting now:

Museums: Light in the outdoor area

Become visible
Outdoor art objects or impressive architecture only create a magical presence with the onset of darkness. In gardens or on forecourts and paths, curators and exhibition designers set visual highlights by accentuating sculptures. Not infrequently, the architecture itself is also a reason for visiting. At night, facade lighting creates a prestigious atmosphere and emphasizes the dimensions of the building, whilst light accents mystically highlight architectural features such as columns. This is how you are able to present and display museums as appealing cultural brands.

Museums: Light in the outdoor area

Roll out the red carpet
And with light: a holistic cultural experience for visitors should commence even before they enter the building. From the car park and sculpture garden to the foyer: suitably illuminated paths and routes can introduce visitors to an exhibition concept and put them in the desired mood. Use light in a targeted way to attractively welcome and guide your visitors. With the right lighting, for example bollard luminaires, you also increase your visitors' sense of security.

Museums: Light in the outdoor area

Become a host for outdoor events
If no exhibitions are possible indoors or only a limited number of visitors are admitted, curators have the chance to move their creativity outside. And not only to organize your own events, such as a private view outdoors—an impressively illuminated sculpture garden can also be rented for corporate events and weddings. Discover ERCO outdoor luminaires, also for scenographic lighting concepts in color, characterized by perfect quality of light and the high visual comfort of museum spotlights.

How long do ERCO luminaires last?

At 9 hours of daily operation over 15 years, this means excellent photometric properties. The luminaire is fully functional even after this time. Please note that you may then have to consider the brightness level of the luminaires separately in your lighting calculations
