Abstract
Worldwide museums have in common the intention of “telling a story”, this intention is beyond value and size of the displayed pieces, its geographical location or the quantity of people that visit them. In this perspective, light fulfils a highly regarded double role: to reveal the object itself (physiological function) and “to generate ambience”(significance function) where the statement is produced and, therefore, it takes part of the statement in an implicit form.
However, lighting together with other environmental conditions (like temperature and humidity), can modify objects’ properties significantly throughout their exhibition time, leading to deterioration. Therefore there is always a dilemma to solve: Exhibition versus Preservation. High standards of preservation may lead to poor conditions of exhibition. On the other hand, a stimulating ambience for exhibition may expose valuable objects to lower preservation standards.
