Museum lighting design

Museum lighting design – reduction, precision, attitude

Lighting design for museums, exhibitions & collections

Fischer & Partner Lichtdesign has been planning lighting solutions for museums, exhibitions, galleries, and cultural institutions for over 35 years – with a minimalist approach, technical precision, and a clear focus on the exhibit. Our roots in architectural, theater, opera, and event lighting flow into every plan – resulting in an emotionally impactful yet understated lighting image.

Light for exhibits – functional, discreet, durable

Our museum lighting uses neutral white, daylight-like ambient light combined with targeted warm or cool white accents. The lighting is designed to be dramatic, with deliberate alternations of light and dark, surface and focus. The result: a clear spatial effect, natural visitor guidance, and minimal sensory overload.

Modular, maintenance-friendly systems with high spare parts availability
Uniform luminaire families for calm, consistent design
Just a shadow – like sunlight – for clear spatial depth

Invisible technology – visible effect

We integrate emergency lighting systems, power supplies, and control technology invisibly into architecture, furniture, or existing structures – even in listed buildings. No technology on the ceiling or walls, no design clutter.

What is technically possible is not decisive – what is architecturally appropriate is.
