Featuring advanced humidity control, UVnano™ hygiene technology, and ultra-quiet operation, LG dehumidifiers help protect priceless artworks in optimal gallery conditions
LG Philippines has reaffirmed its long-standing partnership with the National Museum of Fine Arts, underscoring its commitment to cultural preservation through the donation of LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers. These advanced units will help maintain optimal environmental conditions inside the museum’s galleries—safeguarding priceless masterpieces and ensuring the longevity of the nation’s most treasured artworks.
Protecting Heritage Through Innovation
Museums are more than spaces of exhibition—they are living archives of history, culture, and national identity. Behind every gallery wall lies a delicate ecosystem where temperature and humidity must be carefully controlled. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth, paint deterioration, and warping—gradually eroding the integrity of irreplaceable works of art.
Through this renewed collaboration, LG plays a vital role in strengthening the museum’s internal climate control systems. The PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers ensure conservation conditions that meet strict international standards, enabling long-term protection of the museum’s most sensitive collections.
Technology Designed for Preservation
Each unit of the LG PuriCare™ Dehumidifier is engineered to deliver both performance and reliability. Its UVnano™ technology keeps the water tank hygienic by reducing bacterial growth, while its ultra-quiet 33dB operation allows it to function silently within gallery spaces—preserving the calm and immersive museum experience.
For convenience and efficiency, the units feature ergonomic handles, smooth-glide wheels, and continuous drainage, ensuring seamless integration into daily conservation routines. Through the LG ThinQ™ app, museum staff can also monitor humidity levels and control settings remotely—enhancing precision and ease of management.
“LG is proud to be a partner in preserving the nation’s cultural treasures,” shared Mr. Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Philippines. “By providing these dehumidifiers, we ensure that the priceless works housed in the National Museum are protected under the right conditions. Life’s Good when history and culture are kept vibrant.”
Safeguarding the Nation’s Masterpieces
At the heart of the National Museum of Fine Arts lies an extraordinary collection that narrates the Filipino story—marked by creativity, struggle, and resilience. Few works embody this spirit as powerfully as Juan Luna’s Spoliarium, a monumental masterpiece that continues to inspire generations.
To help protect Spoliarium and other national treasures, LG provided PuriCare™ Dehumidifiers capable of removing up to 30 liters of moisture per day. This technology supports the preservation of works by National Artists such as Fernando Amorsolo (Bataan) and Benedicto Cabrera (Sabel), ensuring they remain shielded from the silent threats of time, moisture, and decay.
“Spoliarium is perhaps the most legendary artwork in the Philippines—a national treasure that has inspired generations since it won in Madrid in 1884,” said Director General Jeremy Barns. “We owe it to future generations to preserve this piece and the countless others that reflect our national soul. With LG’s help, we can better protect these works against our tropical climate’s challenges.”
Barns also emphasized how fluctuating humidity levels pose one of the greatest threats to fragile artworks:
“Our environment is very humid, and changes in temperature are not good for keeping delicate works over time. Dehumidifying systems like the LG PuriCare™ units help us stabilize conditions and extend the life of our paintings.”
A Shared Commitment to Culture and Conservation
LG’s latest donation strengthens its growing partnership with the National Museum, which began with the company’s contribution of LG TVs and screens that support education and storytelling within the museum. This new phase expands their collaboration from promotion to preservation, highlighting a shared mission to protect, promote, and pass on the country’s artistic legacy.
“Our partnership with LG continues to evolve—from technology that helps us educate to technology that helps us conserve,” Barns concluded. “These dehumidifiers will help ensure that future generations can continue to experience and be inspired by our nation’s masterpieces.”
Beyond its impact on museum preservation, LG’s advanced dehumidification technology also benefits homes, offices, and public spaces—creating environments that are both comfortable and conducive to well-being.
By supporting institutions like the National Museum of the Philippines, LG champions the message that innovation can serve not only convenience but also culture. Life’s Good when art, history, and heritage are preserved for all to experience and celebrate.
Life isn’t just about having the latest technology, it’s about the meaningful experiences it creates and the impact it brings to our everyday lives.
