Gathered from papers from a symposium held at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Villa in 2006, this practical title covers the gamut from historic structures and house museums to fine art museums across the world, and even includes an essay on new developments in seismology. As opposed to being useful solely to collections staff, the book has sections that can be used by buildings and grounds staff and also includes a chapter on protecting special exhibitions from earthquake damage. With contributions from mount makers, conservators, structural engineers, scientists, and archaeologists, essays cover seismic mount making, protection of historic structures and historic house collections, and multiple case studies from India and Greece, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Presenting the most recent research as well as fine examples from major museums in particularly earthquake-prone regions, this collection is a must for museums in need of updating their earthquake protection systems.
