They can have furs, feathers, oil paintings, birch bark baskets, old books, papers and documents to name a few. Keeping the environment unchanging helps to ensure that your grand children's, grandchildren can experience and see real objects from real history. Sudden changes cause problems. Too much humidity and you get mold. Too little humidity and things dry out and break.Too much light things fade. Too quick temperature changes can cause things to crack or break. a constant steady environment(humidity, temperature and light) help to preserve a wide range or artifacts(objects) found in museums.

The light is controlled to keep paintings and fabric from fading. controlling the humidity and temperature ( so it doesn’t fluctuate) is important to things made of wood, paint, even stone. fluctuations cause wood to expand, contract, dry out, crack. things like stucco, too, i think.
