Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The number of domestic art museums and museums that have introduced it to take advantage of the good points of an open storage type exhibition is increasing.Therefore, there is a concern that the collection will be damaged by visitors and the open storage environment.The work "Flowers of tomorrow" by Choi Jeonghwa which is on display in the open storage of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, was physically damaged due to the storage environment, contact with visitors, and structural instability.This study attempted to develop and produce supports that can minimize damage in an open storage environment and do not heterogeneous during viewing when the work is displayed again after the conservation treatment is completed.The support was made in a shape suitable for vulnerable parts using 3D scanner and 3D printer.The load bearing capacity according to the length and thickness of the support was measured, and conditions suitable for the wind strength flowing inside the open storage were selected.Based on the results of the experiment, the support was produced, and the color was matched so that there was no heterogeneity from the color of the work in the applied parts, and it was currently being displayed in open storage while being attached to the work.
