Microclimate problems in storage rooms: case study in museums located in Upper Silesia.

Number: pap. 216

Author(s) : BLASZCZOK M.

Summary

Large parts of cultural heritage collections are kept in storage. Only about 10% of museum collections are exhibited, the rest is located in the storage rooms. The storage rooms are not visited often and typically no work is performed there by the museum staff. Therefore establishing the compromise between optimal parameters of indoor environmental conditions for the artifacts' preservation and occupants’ thermal comfort is not necessary. Here for creating indoor environmental conditions the optimal parameters for the museum collection should be set. Many museum storages in Poland are located in rooms in a basement or in an attic of the museum building. Most of them are only ventilated by natural air exchange and the indoor temperature is regulated by the central heating system. The article presents results of the investigation of the indoor climate in six museum storage rooms located in museum buildings. Analyses of indoor climates in storage rooms are presented for the winter season.
