Résumé

As a caretaker of cultural and natural artifacts, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, contains irreplaceable objects. In situations where environments for artifacts are not correctly maintained and controlled, permanent damage to these objects can result. In the paper, the environmental factors affecting artifact lifetime are reviewed and recommendations are summarized. In addition, a method for evaluating the tightness of display cases using carbon dioxide as a tracer gas is presented. The survey indicated that the temperature in certain areas of the museum often exceeded a recommended upper limit of 25 °C and humidity was uncontrolled in other areas.
