Valence House Museum tells the history of Barking and Dagenham. There are 13 galleries within the museum all of which have display cases that are full of objects made from a variety of material. A total of 15 Tinytag Plus 2 and View 2 loggers are located within cases that are most susceptible to fluctuations in temp and RH. For example,these include the archaeology case that displays unglazed ceramics and two cases that both contain mid-to-late 16th century wall paintings, all of which would bedamaged by high levels of RH. Any fluctuation in RH could lead to irreparable damage if the wood was to swell or contract. Tinytags also monitor the environment in the mixed-media store and cataloguing spaces where a stable environment is essential.
