Rain seldom affects museum objects through direct contact; its greatest impact is often indirect, altering the environmental conditions that surround collections. When it rains outside, indoor humidity, temperature, and air quality shift—setting off invisible changes that can quietly damage objects. Different materials respond to these invisible environmental shifts; signs such as mold, corrosion, cracking, warping, and paint loss often appear long after the damage has already begun.
Join us for an interactive session exploring how rainfall-induced changes in humidity and temperature affect museum collections. Learn to recognize the early signs of deterioration caused by these environmental fluctuations across different types of objects. The session will introduce practical methods for monitoring internal humidity and temperature and highlight preventive conservation strategies to reduce risks and safeguard our shared cultural heritage for future generations.
