"Current museum lighting practice is governed by conservation concerns, the aim being to minimize light exposure of exhibits to protect them from degradation. [This book] puts emphasis upon providing excellent visual presentation of the exhibits, and achieving this with light exposure ... [It] explores different approaches to museum lighting; examines visual responses to light and the damage caused by light exposure; reviews daylighting and electric lighting installations and how they are controlled; leads to practical procedures for designing, installing and maintaining effective museum lighting; [and] is illustrated with copious examples of daylighting and electric lighting installations fro museums around the world"--Page 4 of cover.
