Abstract (en)

Reviews the exhibition Palaces of Art (London, Dulwich College Picture Gallery, and Edinburgh, National Gallery of Scotland) devoted to the history of art galleries and museums in Great Britain, 1790-1990. Focuses on the role of lighting in the display of paintings, and proposes guidelines for the illumination of galleries and the choice of background wall coverings.
