Abstract
The reinstallation of 40,000 Egyptian objects took place in three phases, with a different approach to climate control in each phase. System problems led to an evolution away from air-conditioned cases towards the use of sealed cases within air-conditioned galleries. The testing procedure for the sealed cases is described.
