Henry Morrison Flagler Museum

Log Number: MA-31-15-0048-15

The Henry Morrison Flagler Museum will implement appropriate preventive strategies to block harmful ultraviolet rays and sunlight that damage interiors, furniture, documents, textiles, and artwork. The museum will replace and upgrade protective film in 2,282 oversized panes in 78 windows and 9 doors, ensuring that the museum's interiors and important collections will be protected from South Florida's sunlight. The project will help the museum fulfill recommendations from both the Conservation Assessment Program and Furniture Survey consultants who recommended limiting the exposure of light sensitive materials in the museum collections. The museum will measure before and after light levels to ensure that, as a result of this project, the new film is blocking 72 percent of sunlight and 99 percent of ultraviolet rays.
