Resumo

Neste artigo são analisadas as condições higrotérmicas de um espaço museológico situado num edifício do século XVIII, em Coimbra (Portugal). Este edifício histórico, que acolhe o Museu da Ciência da Universidade, localiza-se no centro histórico da Universidade de Coimbra, declarado oficialmente como Património Mundial em 2013 pela UNESCO. A metodologia proposta na norma europeia EN 15757:2010 foi aplicada em duas campanhas de monitoração realizadas a uma distância de 4 anos, em dois dos espaços da exposição permanente do MCUC. São apresentados e discutidos os resultados dos períodos de monitorização. As conclusões mostram a importância da monitorização das condições ambientais internas dos espaços museológicos a longo prazo, no sentido da elaboração de diretrizes de conservação de objetos e da qualidade do ambiente interior para a conservação de exposições, suportadas e baseadas em evidências.
