Abstract
The environment in the Sainsbury wing of the National Gallery is controlled to give an relative humidity between 50 and 60per thousand, with mean winter and summer temperatures of 19 and23°C, respectively. Chemical filtration reduces the level of NO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> in the indoor air to less than 10mug m<sup>-3</sup>. Natural and artificial light are filtered to reduce the ultraviolet content to less that 10muW lumen<sup>-</sup> 1</sup>. The daylight levels are adjusted with louvres to ensure that the annual exposure is less than 650k lux-h. The temperature, relative humidity, and light levels are monitored by a computerized logging system. -- CAL -- CAL
