Indigenous lighting in Indian museum
Some 35 yr ago, Smoki People in Prescott, Ariz, built museum to house implements and artifacts of Southwest Indians who once dwelt in and around Prescott; museum is exact replica of Indian pueblo and is authentic in every way as artifacts and handiwork it houses; studies carried out to select fixtures and light sources which did not destroy antiquity of displays with their modern appearance; design selected for housings came from Zuni altars and pottery; striking elements of new lighting are carefully finished indigenous designs on luminaire housings, which are as much part now of museum collection as costumes and pottery on display.
