Abstract. This work discusses a wireless sensor network to monitor exhibition halls of a museum, to preserve the high quality of artifacts and to ensure the correct handling of artifacts. The network makes use of a hybrid indoor communication framework to leverage on power line and wireless communications to facilitate a low energy data communications to support sensor data collection. In addition, it is equipped with software modules to manage all the sensors and analyze data being collected from them. Our work of applying this technology to museum operations will be presented. The user experience in two museums in Hong Kong has been very positive.
