Inaugurated on May 25, 1999, the Museo Antropológico de la Comunidad de Madrid began construction in 1987. It wasn't until ten years later, in 1997, that the decree establishing the museum was issued, thus formalising the institution's existence.
As part of the museum’s modernisation, the client needed an SMD LED solution that includes a glass in front of it to avoid dead pixels and any possible damage or accidents caused by museum visitors.
Dahua, together with Epsilon Media, provided an innovative solution that overcame these limitations and optimised the museum experience.
Renovation of the museum
The Museo Antropológico de la Comunidad de Madrid was converted from the former Dominican Convent of the Mother of God, built in several phases between the 17th and 18th centuries.
As an old establishment, the client wanted to renovate the installation step by step, with the first stage comprised of an LED wall in the main entrance.
Their first idea was to install an SMD LED solution with a glass front in order to protect the LED wall and avoid issues with all visitors visiting the museum. Building such a solution is costly and may not be the right solution due to the lack of front-line maintenance.
Flip COB indoor fine pixel pitch LED
The Dahua Flip COB Indoor Fine Pixel Pitch LED offers mini flip Chips on Board (COB) technology
Together with the Epsilon Media and the Dahua team, the museum evaluated the Dahua Flip COB Indoor Fine Pixel Pitch LED solution in person. After a deliberate discussion, the client agreed that it is the right solution for their facilities.
The Dahua Flip COB Indoor Fine Pixel Pitch LED offers mini flip Chips on Board (COB) technology that enables full illumination and softer light without pixel particles, effectively combating digital visual fatigue.
Key features
It allows full front maintenance that makes disassembly and maintenance highly efficient. With the full control of the ink colour parameters on the surface of the light board, the ink colour at all angles is guaranteed to be uniform, which helps solve the industry’s issue regarding ink colour differences in batches.
Other benefits include high contrast of 10,000:1, energy-saving and power-saving capabilities (less than 75 watts per box, 40% lower than other SMD products), and 160° super wide viewing angle.
Another notable feature of this LED is its dustproof and anti-fingerprint surface that leaves no visible traces when touched. It is also waterproof and moisture-proof, with a low rate of dead pixels and high hardness against knocks.
Doesn’t require additional glass protection

These features effectively meet the requirements of the client regarding additional protection against damage to the LED during operating hours.
Dahua continues to drive technological innovation to improve the way people experience history.
With the Dahua Flip COB Indoor Fine Pixel Pitch LED and the Quality Service Epsilon Media offered, the Museo Antropológico de la Comunidad de Madrid was able to install an LED wall without the need of additional glass protection, providing an exceptional digital display of historical images inside the museum while enhancing visitor experience and saving costs.
Remarks from the museum director
“With the video wall that Dahua installed for us, we were able to renovate the first unit that was originally there. This type of technology is significantly important in transmitting knowledge about the past. The overall collaboration was very satisfactory,” says Mr. Enrique Baquedano, Director of Museo Antropológico de la Comunidad de Madrid.
“The Dahua team was always ready to help whenever we encountered any issue. What’s more, the LED wall is balanced and cohesive with the overall aesthetic of the museum, which is an added bonus,” concluded Mr Enrique.
