Abstract

In recent years, the control of the microclimate in museums has assumed a role of great importance. The deterioration process, defined as a result of progressive and cumulative material decay, depends on environmental variables and their changes. In particular, inappropriate temperature and relative humidity levels speed up the chemical and physical deterioration and may cause irreparable damage to cultural artefacts.<BR />This research focuses on state of conservation assessment of 34 plaster casts of Trajan's Column of the Museum of Roman Civilisation and on the microclimate monitoring of the Room LI where they are conserved.
