Project Location city of Ouro Preto, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil
Entry DescriptionBoulieu Museum was conceived inside a restored building in the historic city of Ouro Preto, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Dated from early 20th century, the building and was formerly an asylum, with eclectic architecture, being part of the historical and artistic heritage of Brasil since 1938 (declared by IPHAN). The pieces exhibited come from a private collection of multiple types of baroque pieces, made of different techniques and materials and gathered from all around the world during a lifetime by the Boulieu couple, from small to big sculptures, paintings, furniture and silver itens. The Lighting Design in Boulieu Museum pairs with the concept of the exhibition architecture: that of being on purpose detached to the restored elements of the architecture, being clearly an intervention, but also in dialogue with the original space, which was achieved with pendant systems. In addition, the directional and precisely pointed lighting brings specific mood into the rooms, creating contrast and enhancing the characteristics of the baroque pieces.
