Museum Microclimates
Padfield, T. and K. Borchensen (eds.).
2007 – National Museum Denmark
This publication includes the most recent proceedings of the latest conference on environmental climates recommended for museums. The text is fully available online through the National Museum of Denmark website (http://www.natmus.dk/sw53828.asp) and I highly recommend that you consult it to see the breadth of expertise and recommendations that is available on the topic. Of particular interest is a PowerPoint commentary by Marion Mecklenburg that summarizes the results of the conference and his thinking in this area. (provided by Bruno P. Pouliot)
