IF SAFETY IS NOT ENOUGH. A MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ON SEISMIC PREVENTION OF MUSEUM COLLECTIONS: THE MUSEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

The paper presents part of a work-in-progress research on earthquake damage mitigation for museum collections, focusing on the museographical aspects. The essay is part of the research project RESIMUS - Resilience Museums, developed by a group of researchers of DIDA of the University of Florence. We present two fundamental museographical tools: the drawing as an instrument of study, and the study of coherent museum references. The paper tries to merge the literature on proper devices for the seismic reliability of artifacts and the updated museum literature to develop a framework where seismic prevention comprehends the entire exhibition design.
