Temperature fluctuations and humidity are hard on art. We know this from experience! During World War II, art had to be evacuated from London to nearby caves—in the cool, dry environment of the caves, the art deteriorated far less. Musuems and art storage warehouses replicated those climatic conditions of 70°F and 50% relative humidity. This has dramatically reduced the deterioration of many cultural treasures. However, not every artwork needs to be kept in this environment. Ask your Crozier art storage expert to help you find the type of storage best suited to preserve your art.
