Culture

In retrospect, one of the most difficult but also fabulous challenges was bringing the art to life with the highest quality of light. In the search for the best light and suitable aesthetics of the lighting fixtures to fit in rather diverse museum spaces, iGuzzini’s Palco fixture series seemed to offer exactly what was needed. 
In the KMSKA, iGuzzini’s lighting fixtures are equipped with lenses, filters, framers, snoots and/or honeycomb accessories. Fixture optics range from 4° spots to powerful 48° wide flood optics. Some large-scale historic paintings are still waiting for their restoration. To soften the yellowish tint from the old varnish, yet to be removed, tunable white fixtures have been used to balance the colour appearance. Illuminating the museum’s most beautiful and famous paintings, drawings and sculptures with approximately 900 iGuzzini fixtures feels like the completion of a quest for the most perfect light. Our contacts at iGuzzini were of great help, acted pro-actively, helped to sort out fixture orders within tightest deadlines and - to summarise - were fantastic to work with.
