Description Natural textile fibres represent an ideal breeding ground for various microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and fungi). If a microorganism is in convenient conditions for its survival and breeding, this can result in a significant damage of textiles. The aim of this study is to describe methods suitable for an examination of microbial contamination not only for textiles, but also for the environment where the textile exhibits are stored. Monitoring of a microbial contamination of the environment, determination of the number of dust particles which can carry microorganisms and also assessment of the effect of active air-conditioning on occurrence of bacteria and microscopic fungi in workrooms, laboratories, depository and exhibition spaces (including open-air museums) in several institutions were carried out. Final results obtained from several inspections, prevention and suitable precautions for successful exhibits storing are discussed in the conclusion. Also the consequent necessity of periodic inspections of the environment is mentioned.
