Yes since most of these objects are unique, there's no easy way to preserve them. Proper funding for the museum would be a good start and then digitising as much as possible for backup. The high quality photos that the Portrait Gallery did of their collection is a great example [0]. For other objects, 3D scans would be a good way to preserve as much information as possible in case of a disaster.

- andai 8y ago3D scans of museum artefacts are a great idea for another reason: they make the collection accessible to anyone with 3D goggles (or a phone, really), rather than the tiny fraction of a percent able and willing to travel across the world.
