The 35 papers in this volume investigate what is known and what is
not known about suitable environmental conditions for cultural
heritage collections. They present the most significant recent
research on this subject, informed by a major international
conference, held at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich from 7 to 9
November 2012. The volume is including following contributions:
