Understanding Safe Environmental Conditions for Museum Collections.

SMARTMUS-e seeks to answer one crucial question about preserving museum collections:
1. How do different materials actually degrade due to temperature and relative humidity fluctuations?
To achieve this, we're investigating two key factors:
• How historical museum buildings naturally moderate outdoor climate variations.
• The precise relationship between environmental conditions and material deterioration.

This research will provide museums with science-based guidelines to protect their collections while optimizing energy use in their buildings.
