Hello, all!

I was wondering if anyone has any pointers about what kind of lighting would be best in museum display cases. We are a new museum that will be handling Civil War artifacts, and we are having our display cases custom made. We would like to light from the inside. I know lighting levels and UV are all important factors to think about, but we were hoping to get some information about the newest lighting trends in museums and the most efficient. Tips, links to websites, experiences, and book references would be all be appreciated!

Thanks,
