What happens to art when the weather gets hot?
The evidence of our hot summer temperatures is all around—from brown lawns to dry creek beds. But what if works of art were exposed to great heat? We talked to experts around Getty to find out how high climate temperatures affect art, how Getty keeps art cool and comfortable even in the strongest heat wave, and which types of art are unfazed by sunny days.
