Abstract

The Rietveld Schröder House is not only an icon of Dutch architecture, but also a museum welcoming about 18,000 visitors each year. The unusual experimental character of the construction and the fact that the house is open to the public
can be expected to affect the indoor climate and to pose some risks for the conservation of the building and the furniture. In order to assess possible risks related to the indoor climate and, if necessary, take measures, a monitoring of the indoor climate was carried out in 2017.
