display glass (i.e. greenhouse effect) may have played a larger role in the fading of the examples you shared. I ask this since I’ve seen similar results when specimens spend too much time in a drying oven (with no light). You note ‘little or no climate

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">“The experience of the ROM Green Plant Herbarium is similar to that of others who have replied to this enquiry: herbarium
specimens placed on display fade. In our experience, rotating the contents of display cases is usually impractical, and doing so would take away time from more pressing activities. Where they can be mounted a few feet away from a museum visitor, color scans
of specimens are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. <br>
<br>
My colleague, Deb Metsger, describes how she and her co-workers dealt with this issue in part of a report she made on the ROM's " Life in Crisis: The Schad Gallery of Biodiversity" that opened in 2009. This report was published in the Bulletin of the Canadian
Botanical Association, and is available online at <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cba-2Dabc.ca_Bulletin-5F43-5F3.pdf&d=CwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=f0M-fqxKZZ5yzwldEzLPallEB40O2-xsim-s9B3N_j8&s=KgtQNw3Z5-Bfwgi5nHiSLNCa8uc2UnaYHw-l3QuuklE&e=">
<span style="color:black">http://www.cba-abc.ca/Bulletin_43_3.pdf</span></a> (p. 12 of the .pdf file, page 60 of the Bulletin). The report describes how the gallery team used scans of herbarium specimens, real plants, and models to convey the diversity of plants
to museum visitors, not as backdrops to animal displays, but rather as vital components of diverse ecosystems. It may be of interest to others confronted with similar challenges<br>
