Background

In April 2022 the exhibition entitled Klimt - The Man, the Artist, his World was set up in the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery and the XNL – Piacenza Contemporanea cultural centre. It illustrates one of the most riveting periods in the history of early 20th century art, through the life, creative journey and collaborations of the Father of the Vienna Secession.

The solution

Capetti Elettronica had already used its museum monitoring systems in facilities such as the Gran Guardia Palace in Verona, the Castle of Venaria, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan, Goethe House in Rome, the Casa Romei Museum in Ferrara and the Oriental Art and Egyptian Museums in Turin. Having seen Capetti’s extensive experience in this field, the organisers of the exhibition therefore decided to put their trust in the WineCap™ systems to measure and log environmental data.

The result

Thermo-hygrometric dataloggers were selected to measure the temperature and humidity in the various exhibition rooms, in addition to dataloggers with luxmeters for works particularly sensitive to light intensity, such as original drawings by the Austrian artist.
