I've always been amazed at Italian museums. No climate control, open windows, dusty, under-labeled items. Even the Vatican, which clearly has the money to do better, leaves the Vatican Museum as a hot and humid mess throughout the summer. The damage to the artwork is just piling up. But it's just not a priority there.
