Storage

The artifacts preserved in the well-designed storages of KNMM are protected from the damage caused by natural disasters, fire and humans. Since the cavity wall of the storages, which has a hollow space between two walls, prevents harm caused by water leaks and dew condensation, the artifacts are safely preserved.

When air conditioning system does not work because of sudden interruption of electricity supply, the storages built with humidifying panels can keep the temperature and humidity inside constant for a period of time. And automatic fire detectors and fire extinguishing system are used to prevent and put out a fire.

Each artifact is classified differently based on the type and characteristic and preserved in a proper storage with appropriate temperature and humidity.
