Jewish Museum Berlin

LED track-mounted spotlight is in the spotlight at Museum

In the new permanent exhibition of the Jewish Museum Berlin, light accompanies and guides visitors through Jewish history.

The lighting design office, ENVUE HOMBURG LICHT, planned the interior. They carefully studied the architecture of Daniel Libeskind and re-staged the rooms with focussed applications of light. The original technical lighting infrastructure was not completely planned anew, but integrated into the design. As a full-service provider, mawa delivered and mounted all lights, including products from other manufacturers.

The major player under the ceilings of the museums rooms is seventies plus. As an all-a-rounder, the light masterfully handles the wide range of museum requirements.

In the rooms, the lighting atmospheres vary and dramaturgically underline the content presented.
