In a world first, Rotterdam’s Boijmans museum has put its entire collection on display in a mammoth new warehouse. As the V&A considers a si
I love the visible storage model, so it'll be facinating to see what will come of a museum going full tilt in that direction.
In a past post, my colleague, Lisa Bruno, mentioned the Museum received an IMLS grant to refurbish the lights in Luce Visible Storage. The original in-case phosphorescent lighting in Luce has come to an end of its 10 year life span. Although innovative at the time, this lighting technology has been surpassed with the new superstar of museum lighting – LED’s (light emitting diode). LED’s can be made with no ultraviolet (UV) and minimal infrared (IR, heat) – both important qualities for museum lighting. To choose the new Luce lights a group including the Museum Designer, Curators, Conservators and individuals from the Planning department met with Edison Price lighting specialists.
So what is considered when choosing museum lighting? Of course we want to be able to see the object and we also want to be sure the visual appearance of the artwork is accurately represented. We also want to be sure the works are not adversely affected by the museum lighting. For lighting in Luce we had to consider what would work for a variety of different types of objects which are basically on permanent display.
Our ultimate choice was the Minimax LED. The choice of LED’s already eliminate UV and minimize IR which are two damaging components that can exist in light. These lights also come equipped with a dimmer switch which easily allows us to lower the illumination intensity of the lighting which also helps preserve objects. An added bonus is that LED’s are energy efficient having a much longer lifespan than average light bulbs which significantly decreases maintenance costs.
Check out the video of the installation of these new LED’s! And see for yourself next time you visit the Museum!

Gaston Lachaise’s Standing Woman was inspired by his beloved wife Isabel Dutaud Nagle. The young artist pursued her from his native Paris to Boston in 1906, and he lived in the United States for the rest of his life. He rendered her as a force of nature with a powerful form and elongated limbs, towering over seven feet high. This monumental work has to be seen in person—the next time you’re in Brooklyn’s American art galleries, stop in to Luce Visible Storage to meet Lachaise’s muse.

Bins that say "accessories" but hide everything inside? You end up digging, opening, and hoping you grabbed the right one. Switch to clear fronts—now you see it all without the guesswork. Clear front bins make it easy to find your accessories without digging through clutter — a small change that makes your closet way more useable. See more at http://www.closetworks.myshopify.com
Ever jammed one more thing into a bin—then lost it all behind the pile? Closed storage hides overflow until it’s chaos to find what you need. Open baskets stop the overflow early, making daily resets way easier. Getting everything into one bin just pushes clutter out of sight until it’s a mess to find. Open baskets stop the overflow early and keep daily resets smoother. See how at http://www.closetworks.myshopify.com
