The microenvironment within a museum plays a crucial role in both visitor and staff health, as well as in the preservation of its collection. Air pollution can irreversibly damage and degrade historic buildings and ancient landmarks.

To better protect Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, ‘The Last Supper’ from continuous fading, Sapiens has installed 20 indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors in the church in Milan, Italy, where the mural is housed. This setup provides comprehensive data on indoor air pollutants.

Sapiens has assisted the Last Supper Museum in addressing the challenges of cultural heritage conservation using advanced environmental sensor technology. The precise indoor air quality measurements enable museum managers to assess the effects of visitor flow and building ventilation on the indoor environment.

With this clear data, museums can develop appropriate collection protection strategies, such as reasonably arranging the number and time of visitors, planning visitor routes, and adjusting ventilation and lighting systems to create an environment that best preserves cultural heritage.
