Facade lighting of the National Museum
For Finland’s centenary year, the National Museum’s illumination focused on the most prominent parts of the building for visitors. The lighting design has made the National Museum’s tower and main entrance attractive and easily discernible. Crucially, the visual impact has not been compromised by excessive brightness. The lighting also integrates elements that support the museum’s activities.
