Abstract

It is known that the conservation of cultural heritage requires that atmospheric parameters as temperature, humidity or radiation be constant and have well-defined values. Small deviations may irreversibly damage paintings, sculptures, jewels, textiles, etc. Also, air pollution (i.e. increased concentration of trace gases) may affect negatively the quality of artworks through direct and indirect corrosion effects. To our knowledge, such measurements have not been performed in local museums, for a sufficiently long time. This is the first study where we present measurements of temperature, humidity, and radiation, together with air quality measurements inside the Visual Art Museum of Galati city (45° 26′ N, 28° 2′ ″ E), Romania. The results will be used in the future for the implementation of conservation and protection measures of artworks in museums.
