Conference Proceeding
Innes, M. (2017). True Colours: explorations in art, design and research. In Color and Imaging Conference (309-312)

Many museum and gallery exhibits are fragile objects that would not survive repeated handling. Even where this is not the case, it is generally frowned upon for visitors to touch exhibits. As a result, vision is by far the most important sense for mu... Read More about Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments..
