More About Wang Museum Memorial Hall
Wang Museum is an architectural lighting scheme for a memorial hall dedicated to the Chinese writer Wang Zengqi, built in his hometown of Gaoyou. The lighting recreates the bright and gentle light environment described in his writing. A color temperature of 3000K helps the hall blend into the surrounding traditional historical district.
