Museum and Archive Environmental Monitoring
Preserve the artifacts with precise humidity and temperature measurements
Precise humidity control preserves valuable objects
Museums, archives, libraries, and art storage facilities contain valuable objects that are necessarily exposed to environmental conditions, whether in a gallery, an exhibit case, or a storage environment. The impact of relative humidity in the environment is roughly one order of magnitude greater than the impact of temperature. Even if relative humidity control is not available from an HVAC system, it can still be useful to have a long term record of environmental conditions.
Learn how Vaisala helps to create the right climate for the 17th century royal Swedish warship located in Scandinavia's most visited museum, the Vasa Museum.
Temperature and humidity monitoring of archives
Vaisala HUMICAP® relative humidity sensors have a low drift rate, making them ideal for long term measurements. Careful factory calibration of Vaisala RH measuring devices provides high measurement accuracy. This combination of attributes delivers reliable functionality and a high level of data integrity.

Cloud-based environmental monitoring for museums
Viewlinc Cloud Suite is a complete solution for measuring, monitoring, and documenting environmental conditions in museums and cultural heritage environments. Wireless measurement devices make it easy to monitor different locations, move sensors when exhibits change, and monitor free-standing display cases without complex cabling.
Even when humidity and temperature are controlled by an HVAC system, Viewlinc Cloud Suite provides valuable insight into conditions at precise locations. Monitor the environment close to sensitive objects, or use multiple measurement points to map conditions across a large space. With continuous monitoring and centralized access to data, Viewlinc Cloud Suite helps museums maintain the right environmental conditions and protect valuable collections.
