Abstract

A visualization of the microclimate in 3D inside a container truck during artwork transport is presented. Fourteen wireless temperature and relative humidity (RH) digital sensors were placed around the truck in order to monitor its internal environment. It followed a route that simulated the actual transport of artworks across different locations. Observations about weather changes from afternoon until evening were correlated with the sensor readings. Temperatures reached a high of 33.6°C and a low of 26.6°C while RH measurements ranged from 71% to 94%. This study is important in art conservation because art spaces are not only limited to museum galleries and exhibit areas. Mechanical degradation of paintings may still occur if the proper microclimate conditions during transport are not achieved.
