Lighting design in the Wiblingen Monastery Museum – Invisible technology, visible effect

For the Wiblingen Monastery Museum, we developed a highly sensitive lighting concept that does justice to the exceptional, listed interior spaces. Due to the high-quality ceiling and wall paintings, it was neither possible to mount the lights in a visible manner nor to run conventional cabling along the walls or ceiling.

The solution was developed in close coordination with the exhibition planning: the entire lighting technology was consistently integrated into the exhibition architecture – formally restrained, functionally precise.

To fully protect the historic structure, the parquet floor was partially raised and all cabling was concealed underneath. The walls and ceilings remained completely untouched by the technical infrastructure.

This architecturally inspired lighting allowed exhibits and spatial details to be staged in a targeted manner – without causing visual disruption, yet with a strong atmospheric effect. Visitors experience an exhibition in which light supports the content without forcing itself into the foreground.
