Museum Kunst der Westküste Alkersum/Föhr
Painting lighting with 400 individually developed surface-mounted spotlights
The collection of the Museum Kunst der Westküste (Art of the West Coast Museum) was endowed by Prof. h.c. Frederik Paulsen, who wanted to make his extensive collection of mainly maritime paintings accessible to the public.
For the entire complex, mawa design produced a newly developed variation of the wittenberg surface-mounted spotlight.
The architecture office, Sunder-Plassmann, designed a 900 qm multi-unit museum complex, divided into six harmonious spaces.
400 spots of the newly developed variation of the wittenberg surface-mounted spotlight were used in the galleries to provide the right light for approximately 480 paintings.
The analysis of local building history is evident throughout, and tangible in the interaction between the Museums’ garden and structure.
