I’m not 100% but I vaguely remember the Science Museum having some kind of lighting technology display.

Hello all, 

 

I was just wondering if anyone knows of /works in a museum or historic house using gas, oil or early electric lighting technologies either on a day-to-day basis or as a working exhibit? I'm trying to find out a bit more about the practicalities and Health and Safety issues etc. associated with using them in a public setting. 

 

Any information or suggestions gratefully received. 

 

Thanks

 

Helen
