Abstract

This paper deals with the design and testing of a showcase specifically built to host the Leonardo Self-portrait during a temporary exhibition. The combined effect of gas diffusion, ventilation and temperature variations on the showcase microenvironment are discussed and analyzed, with specific emphasis on the passive control of RH by means of buffer materials. The laboratory measurements, performed on this showcase to analyse the influence of various design and operative parameters, are also discussed. The laboratory results are then compared against field measurement results.
