This project aims to evaluate changes in the morphology and properties of fragile underbound paint layers upon exposure to environmental factors. The urgency of the study is enhanced by the recent revision of museum environmental guidelines. Cultural assets exhibiting porous fragile paint layers include wall paintings, ethnological cultural assets, works on paper, polychrome sculpture as well as paintings on multiple substrates, making the results of this research project of relevance for a large number of collections. In the current project we aim to investigate the impact of fluctuating relative humidity, in particular, on the loss of cohesion in underbound paints by monitoring changes in distribution of the binding medium and changes in mechanical properties.
