This research aims to investigate how different skylight shapes affectlight perception in a museum gallery. Focusing on human perceptionunder specific conditions where the versatility of these architecturalelements serves as a crucial tool for museum lighting designers.Museums architecture have changed throught the past of time, andtheir necessities on their displays. Just so the human behavior in-side these magical places. Skylights have been protagonists as linkbetween exterior light conditions and the light the visitor perceiveinside: an alliance of natural and artificial light.To analyze this relationship, I studied two skylight examples. Theirarchitectural characteristics, specially form and size, arise my interestin how they respond to the task of bringing light inside theirs givenspace: the 01:1 Gallery at the Moderna Museét and the SouthernGallery of Liljevalch+ Art Gallery, both located in Stockholm, Sweden.Through the application of qualitative and quantitative methods, in-triguing findings have emerged, deepening the understanding ofskylights’ potential to effectively illuminate exhibition rooms and en-hance the light dynamism that could be integrate to the experienceduring a museum visit.This thesis suggests that the architectural elements in which light isadmitted inside an exhibit space, impacts directly the light percep-tion for the visitor and conditions their behavior in this temporaryexperience.
