Abstract
Throughout the ages, there have been so many cultural heritages, suffering from natural damage caused by wind, rain, thunder, fire, earthquake, insects and mildew, and also from man-made damage resulting from inadequate conservation and improper handling. Therefore, cultural heritages are in urgent need of conservation and restoration. The conservation of cultural heritages refers to creating a safe and appropriate environment and taking positive measures to increase their life spans and avoid deterioration and damage. Thus, the status of cultural heritages and their surrounding environment, such as temperature, humidity, CO2 density and the state of microorganisms and vegetation should be monitored in real-time. In addition, the storeroom, the exhibition hall and even transportation should also be safeguarded. Restoration aims to artificially restore damaged cultural heritages and improve their conservation status and prolong their “life”.
