Humidification and Humidity Control in Museums and Galleries

Museums and galleries aim to operate close environmental management to prevent the deterioration of historic and valuable objects due to fluctuations in temperature, humidity and light conditions.

Museum Museum Museum exhibit

Incorrect display and storage environments may result in a variety of damage to museum collections, and stability is key for conservation. In addition, it is also frequently a requirement of loan conditions that particular environmental criteria are met for loan objects on display.

Humideco have a long experience of working with clients in this sector, see our attached “guide to humidification for museums and galleries”. This features a case study to illustrate where low energy ultrasonic humidifiers have been installed in a large museum, resulting both in a closer control of relative humidity throughout the various galleries, with greatly reduced running costs compared to the original steam humidifiers.
