Change the gallery lighting and colour

A quieter wall can make a bold artwork feel quite at home.

Let’s take it step by step

  1. Select Lights off for dark surroundings, or Lights on for light surroundings. The button tells you what the next click will do.
  2. Select Colour off for neutral gallery surroundings, or Colour on to restore the gallery colours.
  3. If the large welcome logo appears on the homepage, click, tap or press a key to skip it. Otherwise it fades away shortly.

What to expect
