Workers Museum Copenhagen

The Copenhagen Workers' Museum is located in the Workers' Assembly Building from 1879. In 2021, those responsible for the extensive renovation placed great emphasis on preserving the original aesthetics. The carefully coordinated colour tones, the choice of historic materials - nothing was left to chance. Lighting designers Fortheloveoflight devotedly incorporated all aspects into their work: Custom-made products and standards from the Buschfeld portfolio could be used in the museum for various lighting tasks. Whether it was a large atmosphere in the ballroom, rich in decorations, artistic details, and fine wood carvings; or accent lighting for gallery walls in the smaller exhibition rooms. Congratulations to Fortheloveoflight on this project.

Fortheloveoflight stage a unique museum experience with light and sound.
