Protecting Your Collection

Protecting Your Collection in Late Summer Heat and Early Fall Humidity

Humidity and heat can damage artwork, textiles, and furniture. A few preventive steps now can save thousands in restoration costs later.

Keep works on paper and textiles away from direct sunlight.

Monitor indoor humidity, aim for 40–55%.

If moving or storing items during a remodel, use climate-controlled storage.

Avoid putting your art at risk with DIY projects, hire a trusted art handling firm to move, relocate, or install works.
