Abstract
This paper mainly studies the effect of artificial lighting environmental factors on the psychological emotions of observers in the large and practical space of the museums. The purpose is to reveal the relationship between the observers’ response and the artificial lighting condition in the actual art museum space. Field research regarding three art museums in Japan was carried out and the optical environment parameters applied in those museums were quantified. The innovation method is to define the artificial lighting environment space in the way of classified lighting design. Thirty one observers were invited to evaluate the three art museum’s lighting environment. In addition, this paper analyzes and discusses the influence of the actual spatial lighting parameters of museum buildings on observers’ psychological emotions (comfort, clarity, preference and warmth), under three modes of illuminance and correlated colour temperature (CCT) combination. Using one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis, through analysis get the correlation of the four evaluation and three lighting environments indexes are less than 0.05, the observer in an environment with high illuminance and a high CCT had higher psychological evaluation of the art museum.
Highlights
Museums aim to exhibit, protect and educate
The results show that criterion illuminance levels for “good” levels of the visual attributes were determined depending on correlated colour temperature (CCT) [15,16]
Through analyzing the spectral power distribution of the actual lighting environment of the three art museums and considering illuminance and CCT, the ∆C* is obtained by calculation
Summary
At the time when building the major picture galleries and museum, artificial lighting was still in its infancy [3]. As a topic of great interest for interior designers, architects, lighting designers and museum personnel, is increasingly attracting the public. Despite the activity in museum design, the large sums of money spent to acquire artifacts and design buildings to house, display, protect collections and the importance of good lighting to successful design, rigorous analyses of the museum lighting environment are extremely limited [4]. The lighting design of exhibition space has a great impact on visual and colour perception and different lighting arrangements can create quite different visual impressions of artworks and, if not exquisitely designed, might compromise the enjoyment of viewers [5]
