Museums / Themed Environment

“We had our first little starter-museum over in Arlington, where Barbizon provided all of our studio lighting. It was natural when we came here, [Newseum] to bring Barbizon along with us. This was a huge project with a lot of different elements that Barbizon stepped up to and took ownership.”  Jim Updike, Vice President of Technology for the Freedom Forum and for the Newseum

Museums have diversified lighting needs, no longer are they just static lighting environments but areas that engage the viewing audience by adding visual control through light.   Barbizon has provided lighting and supplies to numerous Museums such as the Spy Museum, National Infantry Museum as well as the Newseum.   In every project there were major considerations given to Dimming Equipment, Circuiting & Power Distribution, Control Consoles & Custom Panels as well as a custom rig for a massive 22,000 pound Barco Screen.   Additionally, we understand the need for Energy-Efficient Lighting and Show Control Integration.   Our New Light Initiative researches new energy efficient products and solutions for our customers.
