🕯️FRA LYSEKRONER TIL LYSSTOFRØR – OG TILBAGE IGEN 💡

Har du lagt mærke til de ikoniske PH-lysekroner, der pryder festsalens loft? ✨

I 1948 blev de pillet ned, fordi man dengang mente, at moderne mødelokaler krævede noget mere praktisk. I stedet blev der boret uindfattede lysstofrør direkte op i glasloftet… 😱

Da Arbejdermuseet overtog bygningen i begyndelsen af 1980’erne, blev noget af det allerførste at restaurere de imponerende lysekroner og hænge dem op igen, præcis hvor de hører hjemme. 👏
