**Updated Survey Link*Vibratory Impacts of Music and Transport on Museum Collections: Current Practices and Experiences (An International Research Group Questionnaire)
In recent years, museums and cultural heritage organizations around the world are taking note of the potential impact that vibrations from music can have on their collections. In addition, new questions are being raised about the potential impact of vibrations that objects experience during transport.
Scientists involved in the protection of collections are conducting research into these topics. To inform and focus this research, an International Research Group (consisting of eight leading museum professionals and engineers) has formed and designed this questionnaire. The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect objective information on the current real-life experiences and practices of museums and cultural heritage organizations on vibrations caused by 1) music and 2) transport, with the goal of focusing ongoing research into these topics.
