Abstract
Museums with active loan programs need separate short-term storage areas. Temporary storage should meet the museum requirements of climate control, security and lighting, and be separate from the exhibition staging area. A curatorial vault, a fumigation chamber, and a large vault are also suggested. Generalized sections discuss security, fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, construction during renovation and monitoring the use of construction materials. Storage requires planning and concern from the beginning to the end of construction. See AATA 18-902 and 18-903.
