<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Bethany,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">it might be worth contacting the
Doerner Institute in Munich; it is the art restoration institute
of the Pinakotheken in Munich and one of the leading institutes;
they published the conference proceedings <a

for collections | standards and uncertainties | Munich</i> </a>2012
(454 p); also the latest art gallery building, the Neue
Pinakethek, is entirely concrete.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">On page 149 in the PDF is a reference
to a model construction by the Danish Building research institute
(SBi) at aalborg University, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bsim.dk">http://www.bsim.dk</a>; perhaps also
worth contacting colleagues there.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The key question surely is which kind
of concrete is used, there is a huge variety. It might be worth
checking with builders/planners of your new museum, to be sure
which curing times you are looking for / looking at. Might also be
worth checking hydraulic properties of the concrete used to
understand the potential influence of the concrete on relative
humidity values in the galleries.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope this helps</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are currently building a new museum site and much of the
construction will be concrete, including exposed concrete
walls and floors in galleries. I am looking for guidelines
regarding the true curing time of concrete, and how long we
should wait before installing the exhibitions. I have
guidelines for paint and plaster but none for concrete if used
as an interior finish.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always your guidance and advice is greatly appreciated. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With many thanks,</div>
