The gallery is climate controlled and maintains the constant temperature
and humidity necessary to safely house delicate art objects of any material
composition. The space is primarily illuminated by museum quality track lighting
which contains low voltage halogen lamps. Each light fixture is individually
controlled by a computer system which allows very precise percentages of illumination
as appropriate for the objects on display. There is no direct sunlight in
the gallery space. We also have a high level security system in place which
includes motion sensors throughout the gallery. The gallery is "state
of the art" and is considered a model for other university art galleries
in the state of Indiana.
