Storage
  
Costume Storage, KSUM
  

Rockwell Hall was fully renovated in 1985 into a state-of-the-art museum facility with storage areas modeled on those at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The surfaces are chemically inert, and the blinds allow air to circulate while protecting the collection from dust and light. Temperature and humidity are controlled to about 68-72°F and 50%RH. The storage areas are only lighted when necessary and are protected by a carbon-dioxide fire suppression system.
