Title: THE PAINTED CEREMONY ROOM IN KUTHU MATH IN BHAKTAPUR, NEPALInvestigation of the Wall Paintings and Suggestions for Sustainable Conservation, Maintenance and Management Strategies; - Abstract: The Painted Room in the Kuthu Math in Bhaktapur, Nepal Investigation of the Wall Paintings and Suggestions for Sustainable Conservation, Maintenance and Management Strategies   The painted room in the Kuthu Math in Bhaktapur is an outstanding example of a Nepalese art technology of which very few examples have been preserved. It contains elaborate wall paintings on earthen plaster and wood dating from around 1750, the end of the Malla period. Located in a Math, a former Hindu priest house, they depict the story of Krishna's youth and other Hindu deities. Although the paintings have been repaired and repainted several times, they still contain remnants of the oldest paint phase, which were scientifically analysed in terms of materials and techniques. The aim of the work is also to conduct a survey of their condition and to assess the main risks leading to their deterioration. Experiments and tests are carried out to find suitable methods for their preservation. A sustainable and cost-effective approach is adopted, favouring locally sourced materials and incorporating local knowledge and craftsmanship.; -

Title: MUSEUM LIGHTING WITH LIGHT EMITTING DIODESA Concept for Light Damage Mitigation at the Ruam Samai Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand; - Abstract: Museum Lighting with Light Emitting Diodes A Concept for Light Damage Mitigation in the Ruam Samai Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand This thesis presents an approach to mitigate light damage in museums, focusing on the use of LED exhibition lighting at the planned Ruam Samai Museum (RSM) in Chiang Mai. The collection to be exhibited is composed of South-East-Asian antiques, modern and contemporary art. The research on the methodology of light- and UV-vulnerability categorisation of col- lections forms the basis for the assessment of light sensitivity of the RSM collection. Further, the scientific foundations of object illumination in museums are elaborated, followed by a comparison of the benefits and disadvantages of conventional light sources and LEDs. The following chapter delves into light-induced deterioration processes. Examples of the degradation of colourants follow. Solutions are presented for the control of natural and artificial light, in exhibition rooms and in showcases, based on the current discourse of literature. Finally, the thesis offers a compre- hensive and sustainable strategy for light damage mitigation at RSM.; -

Title: Lacquered Doors and Windows at Wat Kampang Temple Bangkok Analyzing the Current Protection System and Finding Alternatives to Prevent Further Damages; - Abstract: Lacquered Doors and Windows at Wat Kampang Temple, Bangkok Analyzing the Current Protection System and Finding Alternatives to Prevent Further Damages The doors and windows of many traditional Thai palace and temple buildings, especially those of Ayutthaya period (1351–1767), have rich decorations of an enduring lacquering technique named – Lai rod nam, in which gold leaves are applied on black lacquered background. Even though lacquer is one of the most durable natural binders, these art works are facing deterioration and irreversible damages such as loss of lacquer surface and photodegradation due to their exposure to severe weather conditions. This research aims to study the aluminum framed acrylic protection system on the lacquered door and window shutters of Wat Kampang temple in Bangkok. The study focuses on the damage types and failure mechanism of the protection system and tries to find an appropriate solution for the surface protection that can sustain in the long run.; -

Title: PLANNING OF A STORAGE SPACE IN RUAM SAMAI MUSEUM, CHIANGMAI, THAILANDConcept for furnishing a suitable storage to protect and preserve works of art; - Abstract: Planning of A Storage Space in Ruam Samai Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand Concept for furnishing a suitable storage to protect and preserve works of art The Ruam Samai Museum, an upcoming museum project scheduled for 2026, emerges from the privately owned collection of the Angsuvarnsiri family in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Angsuvarnsiri family's extensive collection of antiques, artworks, and their burgeoning interest in contemporary art have motivated them to exhibit their private collection to the public. The collection primarily focuses on antique Buddha statues originating from Southeast Asia and China, accompanied by modern Thai paintings and international contemporary art. With a vast assemblage of over 6,000 objects, the collection encompasses a diverse range of materials, including ceramics, wood, paper, textiles, ivory, metal, plastic, and media art. Currently, the collection is housed in a temporary storage in Bangkok, with plans to relocate to a new storage building in Chiang Mai by 2024. This thesis recommends an appropriate guideline for the new storage facility. It is critical to categorize the artifacts and identify the volume of the collection based on collection analysis and collection survey to establish the necessary storage space, construction as well as furniture requirements. The materials to be used for the storage furniture must be considered since they might contribute to the deterioration of the artifacts, and it is critical to evaluate the possible chemical reactions with sensitive objects before selecting the materials to use. Metal and wood are currently the primary materials for furniture in Thailand, and there are no companies in the country that specialize in museum furniture production. Large format artworks storage provides a difficulty in terms of space and proper depository, so the focus of this thesis  will be on the right planning of furniture and systems for storing these artworks.; -
