Abstract

The article discusses the importance of skillful daylighting in enhancing the experiential qualities of museums and preserving art. It highlights three new art museums, including the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and the Frick Collection, as examples of different approaches to daylighting. The architects and lighting designers for these projects emphasize the experiential and aesthetic goals of good daylighting, while also considering technical knowledge to protect the artwork. The article also provides a checklist of considerations for illuminating art with daylight. [Extracted from the article]
