Collection: Museums & Galleries

Museums and galleries are notorious for bad acoustics. Their wide, open space layout and abundance of hard surfaces allow for sound waves to reflect with ease, causing problematic levels of reverberation and echo within the room. Their generally poor acoustic environment coupled with substantial amounts of background noise – footsteps, leaflets being ruffled, and people discussing the artwork/exhibits – can quickly lead to an uncomfortable environment and poor visitor experience.

Acoustically treating your museum or gallery is essential to creating an all-round positive experience for visitors.

It can be complicated to get the acoustic environment right, but we have collated a variety of acoustic solutions that are ideal for rectifying the reverberation caused by the open space, hardwood floors, and concrete walls.
