Abstract

In order to protect cultural properties and artifacts, risks should be determined and risk management should be made in museum buildings. The study emhpasizes the effects of some risks on museum artifacts. Aim of the study is to determine the environmental risks such as temperature and relative humidity. According to risk analysis, museum experts can manage the climatic comfort conditions at the intended level. Optimum conservation criteria can be implemented for the artifacts and exhibition cases. Ensuring that the museum has temperature and humidity monitoring systems in use in storage and display areas is essential. Also environmental conditions should be monitored. This investigation, coupled with condition checks, would be used to formulate a strategy for the display of the objects in the exhibition that would considerably minimize any risks of further damage by the environmental effects.

Summary

For the protection of cultural property, the museum building in which all the risk, "Risk Management" should be addressed as a priority. Museum professionals, according to the results of the risk analysis Risk Management after the entry into force will be able to manage the desired climatic comfort conditions. Museum objects and exhibits optimum values ​​can be applied in accordance with international protection criteria in showcase. The presence of the museum and exhibition space in the storage temperature and humidity monitoring system is important for the health of the museum building and the objects. Environmental conditions monitored to do with the internal and external media controls this study, a strategy to minimize the download of the potential environmental impacts that may occur in the future will be formulated. This study, especially the effect of relative humidity and temperature of the environmental risk for museum objects in the museum is intended to determine the scale. Working, Ataturk and Star City short-term temperature and relative humidity of the possible impact of changes to objects in the Museum were investigated. Suggestions are made for the provision of favorable conditions.
