Preventive Seismic Protection Technologies to Museum Collections: Quanzhou Museum of China Case Study

Abstract

The destruction of museum collections caused by earthquakes in China has attracted many scholars’ attention. Taking the implementation of the project of Quanzhou Museum for example, this paper introduces the application of the preventive seismic protection technologies to museum collections in aspects like the seismic design method, the verification of the performance of the anti-seismic products for showcases and museum collections, the implementation and effects of anti-seismic products. Through the implementation of the seismic protection and monitoring system for museum collections, an effective long-term mechanism for the seismic protection of museum collections in Quanzhou Museum is proposed. Finally, the successful demonstration of the preventive conservation of museum collections in Fujian is summarized.
