The paper presents the measurement results of actual microclimate conditions that were carried out in one of the Polish museums during the period of one year, from October 2009 to September 2010, under the two-year project on the optimization of microclimate in museum premises in case of variable outdoor and indoor loads. Recording environmental parameters (temperature and relative humidity) with a five-minute time step allowed the analysis of the dynamics of changes in these parameters due to variable thermal-hygrometric loads of the museum premises. Carbon dioxide concentration was also measured. The aim of the investigation was to identify these environmental parameters in different exhibition halls (both with and without air-conditioning systems) and comparing them with the limits suggested in literature and standards. Courses of variability allowed the observation of the rate of change of parameters recorded at different times of the year. The analyses of the results were conducted in terms of absolute values of air parameters in these premises and fluctuations of these parameters over time. Detailed analyses of the impact of outdoor conditions on the microclimate of museum rooms were performed.
