Architecture and Museum Techniques of Museum Storage * The Joint session with the newly established Storage International Committee. Museum storage facilities play a crucial role in the preservation and protection of cultural heritage. This session aims to explore and share best practices on the latest innovations in museum storage design, focusing on the intersection of architecture, preservation, and technical advancements. We encourage papers that address sustainable design practices, adaptive reuse of facilities, climate control solutions, space optimization, and the integration of new technologies in collection management. Through this session, we seek to discuss how thoughtful architectural solutions and innovative techniques can enhance the safety, accessibility, and longevity of museum collections worldwide. ——————– ICAMT & ICOM STORAGE joint Session C-11 THURSDAY 13th of NOVEMBER 2025 / 14:30 – 16:00 PM (Dubai time) Theme: Architecture and museum techniques of museum storage Moderator: François Mairesse, Member of ICOM Storage Group Room number: Umm Al Quwain 14:30-14:40   Preserving the Past, Protecting the Future: Sustainable Storage with the KEEP!
