Museum of Ireland, Eileen Gray Exhibition

Museum Lighting

The Museum of Ireland is located in Dublin, with a strong emphasis on Irish art, culture and natural history. Visual Energy produced a specialist lighting design for the late Eileen Gray Exhibition in the National Museum of Ireland.

Eileen Gray was an Irish Avant Garde interior designer of the Art Nouveaux period who resided in Paris and upon her death the Irish Government purchased her estate and decided to make a permanent exhibition of her work at the National Museum of Ireland. Visual Energy created a design which carefully positioned and focussed spotlights and track lights to highlight models, furniture and artwork. Additionally, they created an illuminated tiled floor which formed a dramatic space as a backdrop to some of the furniture pieces.
