The article explores the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the practice of preventive conservation of cultural heritage, focusing on enhancing methods for preserving objects under changing environmental conditions and technological advancement. Special attention is given to the potential of IoT for continuous monitoring and management of the state of cultural objects, as well as the role of cloud technologies in real-time data processing and storage obtained from sensors. The study analyzes current IoT technologies that provide monitoring of microclimatic conditions (temperature, humidity, lighting, and air pollution), with examples of successful implementation in projects such as like the Newsteo IoT systems at the Louvre, MUSECORR, Collection Care, etc. The advantages of using IoT are assessed, including the automation of management processes, increased cost-efficiency, and reduced risk of damage to objects. The article also discusses the risks and ethical issues associated with the use of IoT, such as data security, technical barriers, and economic costs. The conclusions emphasize the need for further research in the direction of improving sensor technologies, integrating data from different sources, and creating universal platforms for the effective preservation of cultural heritage.
