Humidity control is crucial in museums and galleries for artwork preservation and artefact protection. Fluctuations in moisture levels can cause damage like warping, cracking or mould growth on your exhibits. Controlling humidity helps maintain the best collection care standards, preventing deterioration and ensuring artefact longevity.
Additionally, stable humidity levels create a comfortable environment for visitors and staff, enhancing the overall experience of your facilities.
Furthermore, humidity control systems help with mould and mildew mitigation, further protecting people’s health and the structural integrity of your buildings.
Museums and galleries use a wide range of units to manage air temperature and relative humidity, including:
Condensation dehumidifiers
Desiccant dehumidifiers
Industrial dryers
Air handling units
Humidity monitoring devices
To discuss which of these units is best suited to your facilities, speak to our experts in museum climate control and gallery humidity management.
Condensation dehumidifiers (or refrigerant dehumidifiers) use a refrigerated coil to cool moisture in the air past its dew point, and are most efficient in temperatures between 10ºC and 32ºC.
Desiccant dehumidifiers (or adsorption dehumidifiers) use a slowly rotating silica gel rotor to capture moisture from the air, and are most effective in colder, drier climates.
The ideal humidity level in most museums and galleries typically ranges from 40% to 60%. This range helps preserve artefacts and artworks by preventing deterioration due to excessive moisture or dryness.
Museums and galleries should monitor their humidity levels regularly, ideally daily or at least weekly. Fluctuations can cause irreversible damage to artefacts, so consistent environmental monitoring is crucial for sustainable preservation practices.
