Galleries

Monitor changing exhibitions without losing the permanent environmental history.

LÆFAN brings gallery conditions, light exposure, temporary exhibitions, loans and staff response together so changing displays can be monitored in the context of the collection.

The monitoring challenge

Environmental monitoring needs to reflect the way the collection is actually used.

01

Displays change

Objects, loans and exhibition requirements can change while the underlying room and sensor history continues.

02

Light exposure is cumulative

Illuminance only tells part of the story when display duration also matters.

03

Temporary requirements need their own context

Loan or exhibition conditions should not force the permanent room history to be duplicated.

How LÆFAN helps

Bring the readings, the collection context and the response together.

01

Use Campaigns for temporary periods

Give a loan, exhibition or investigation a defined purpose and date range while retaining the underlying room history.

02

Keep light and environmental data together

Review light alongside temperature, humidity and the collection context that gives the readings meaning.

03

Respond clearly to excursions

Record acknowledgement, investigation and recovery without treating an alert as the whole story.

04

Share evidence later

Campaign and environmental reports keep the display period understandable after the exhibition has ended.

Practical guidance

Useful reading for this type of collection environment.

LÆFAN guidance keeps published sources and practical examples alongside the monitoring questions they support.

Environmental monitoring around your collection

Keep changing displays connected to one environmental history.

Show us the spaces, monitoring equipment and records you already use. We can demonstrate how LÆFAN would bring them together without forcing you into a single hardware ecosystem.
