What is the recommended temperature range for storing and displaying mounted artworks?
-
15-20°C
-
20-25°C
-
25-30°C
-
30-35°C
B
Correct answer

The ideal temperature range for storing and displaying mounted artworks is generally considered to be between 20°C and 25°C, as this range helps to minimize the risk of damage caused by extreme temperatures.
What is the recommended temperature for dry mounting historical photographs?
-
100°F (38°C)
-
150°F (66°C)
-
200°F (93°C)
-
250°F (121°C)
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The recommended temperature for dry mounting historical photographs is typically around 150°F (66°C). This temperature is high enough to activate the adhesive without damaging the photographs.
