Meanwhile, there are architectural archi-tectural considerations to ponder. Whether this building is. newly constructed or renovated, reno-vated, the facility will have to accommodate the museum's varied collections. According to Baker, "a museum houses 40 percent exhibits, 40 percent per-cent storage, and 20 percent administrative offices." , At anytime, there may be as much as 20 percent of a museum's collection on exhibit, leaving the remainder remain-der in storage. The rotation of materials in-and-out of display does as much to preserve pre-serve collections as it does to refresh public interest. While attending the Northern States Conservation Consortium's half-day workshop on small museums and library conservation con-servation operations, Baker learned that placing museum collections on display contributes con-tributes to their deterioration. deteriora-tion. Exhibited items "are under continuous assault from the agents of deterioration,'' said Baker. By minimizing exposure, expo-sure, Baker notes that,"things like dust, light, humidity, dryness, temperature, fire, water, and pollution," which are vectors of deterioration, museums prolong the preservation pres-ervation of artifacts.
