Project description
New technology to better preserve old artefacts
Prevention is better than a cure, but for the preservation of cultural heritage this is no easy task. Degradation of movable tangible cultural heritage can be significantly increased by disadvantageous and unstable climate conditions, light and pollution. The purpose of preventive conservation is to avoid and minimise future degradation and loss of cultural heritage. The EU-funded APACHE project will develop new tools to control and prevent such degradation. These will focus on multiscale materials modelling to predict degradation of art-related materials as well as wireless sensors to provide a smart, user friendly and low-cost system to detect an unsuitable microclimate. Also, including pollution absorbents and temperature and humidity regulators will compensate fluctuations.
