“…Here we note that the East wall of Late Gothic Hall displays a historic tapestry hung from the top. Temperature distributions resulting from the simulations along the wall could then be used as input data sets for tapestry modeling to understand fabric expansion under temperature and humidity variation in the gallery [ 46 ]. Having three-dimensional temperature distributions ( Figure 2 B) would also enable museum curators to pinpoint the most stable locations in the galleries (i.e., with fewest environmental fluctuations).…”

Results from three years of continuous monitoring of environmental conditions using a wireless sensor platform installed at The Cloisters, the medieval branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, are presented. The platform comprises more than 200 sensors that were distributed in five galleries to assess temperature and air flow and to quantify microclimate changes using physics-based and statistical models. The wireless sensor network data shows a very stable environment within the galleries, while the dense monitoring enables localized monitoring of subtle changes in air quality trends and impact of visitors on the microclimate conditions. The high spatial and temporal resolution data serves as a baseline study to understand the impact of visitors and building operations on the long-term preservation of art objects.
