More and more often, museums and galleries are required to put on elaborate, headline grabbing displays to attract visitors. Projectors are frequently the solution, which means that more advanced models are generally needed.
It is crucial to find the right projector for the job. A projector that works well in your living room might not necessarily be the right model to use in a museum, which has large spaces with lots of ambient light.
Museums are keeping up with projector technology to enhance artistic expression. This June, the Japanese multimedia art collective teamLab will open the Digital Art Museum in Tokyo. Using 470 projectors and 520 computers, teamLab created a 107,600 square foot exhibit called ‘Borderless,’ which comprises more than 50 interactive art pieces. The artworks aren’t separated but blend into one another within the rooms and corridors where they are displayed.
In the spirit of enhancing art with cutting edge technology, here are some of the top projectors for museums and art exhibits:
Sony VPL-PHZ10
This Sony projector offers 5,000 lumens of brightness, which will provide great illumination in nearly any light conditions. With up to 20,000 hours of continuous operation, this projector is suited for frequent use that is typical of museums exhibits. With Sony’s proprietary BrightEra 3LCD projection technology, the VPL-PHZ10 delivers vibrant color and fine-detail resolution.
Panasonic PT-RZ870
Available in July 2018, the Panasonic PT-RZ870 projector is capable of maintenance-free operation for up to 20,000 hours thanks to air-tight and dust-resistant optical units and cooling systems, making it ideal for museums. This projector blends crisp and vivid imagining with 8,500 lumens of brightness.
Christie D4K3560
Now here’s something that will make you react like the subject in Edvard Munch’s The Scream: this Christie model’s brightness reaches 35,000 lumens! This, along with its native 4k resolution, makes the Christie D4K3560 ideal for large applications, including museums.
