The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the Lunder Conservation
Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National
Portrait Gallery, Washington DC, will present a two-day master class
on recent developments in museum and gallery lighting.  The master
class will take place at the The MacMillan Education Center at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC on February 11-12,

The master class will present a structured framework for
understanding and discussing recent advances and methodologies for
the effective use and evaluation of the new generation of LED
lighting, including the accompanying control options for museum
settings.  It will specifically address the opportunities and
challenges of the introduction of color-tunable LED lighting systems
and will explore how these can be utilized in museum exhibits.  It
will also reflect on energy consumption issues of new LED lighting
systems.

The master class is targeted at professionals involved in exhibition
lighting and lighting policies in museums and galleries, who face
the challenges of integrating and evaluating LED lighting into their
exhibition settings.  Participants may include lighting and
exhibition designers, facility managers, conservators, curators,
registrars, conservation scientists, lighting manufacturers, and
other related professionals who are familiar with the topic of LED
lighting.
