Fragility of Cultural Artifacts

Fragility of cultural artifacts refers to their delicate nature and vulnerability to deterioration over time due to factors like environmental conditions, handling, or aging materials. These objects—such as ancient manuscripts, sculptures, or textiles—require careful preservation to prevent damage from light, humidity, temperature fluctuations, or physical contact. Recognizing their fragility helps ensure proper conservation techniques are employed, safeguarding their historical and cultural significance for future generations. Protecting fragile artifacts is essential to maintain the integrity and authenticity of our shared heritage.
