To keep the collection safe and store it sustainably, the depot is being refurbished and re-organized. In the framework of the thesises, the textiles´ inventory is taken from a conservation perspective and the planning of a textile storage that meets contemporary museum standards is carried out. Current storage technology, lightning, climate and pest prevention are discussed. Packaging solutions, that are applicable for the whole collection, are developed.
