Abstract(s)
In museums, it is critical to properly conserve the existing artwork. For this purpose, it is
fundamental to continuously monitor its environment, either in storage or exhibition rooms. Contrarily to
traditional measuring equipments and procedures used in museums, the deployment of a Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) can help to implement these measurements continuously, in a real-time basis, and in a much
easier and cheaper way. This is the main objective of the WISE-MUSE project, which proposes the use of
WSNs for museums’ environmental and structural monitoring, and automatic environmental control. In this
paper, the implementation and the main results of the WISE-MUSE project, which was carried out in a
contemporary art museum, are described. Among other important contributions that will also be described in
this paper, the development of a new wireless sensor node and a Web-based visualization tool, which bring
some considerable advantages when compared with other commercially available solutions, are emphasized.
