What recommendations will you give for storing textiles in museums?
Answers
Various things need to be checked and maintained for the museum textiles to be kept in better condition. These things include both natural causes and human mistakes.
Some recommendations regarding these are:
1) keeping the environment of the Museum moisture free and cold so that moulds and other bacteria don't grow and spoil the textile.
2) direct sunlight should always be avoided in the area where the textiles are kept as it can lighten the colour of the textile over a period of time.
3) the maintenance of these textiles should not be neglected by the person who is responsible for keeping the textiles in a better and manageable condition. Taking necessary care will definitely keep these textiles better.
4) the environment in the museum should be kept clean so that no pests or rodents live around and feed on these textiles.
