improving storage conditions for museum objects:
Implementing these best practices can help ensure the long-term preservation and protection of museum objects.
I can add only one thing to Dr. Abdelmoniem M. Abdelmoniem's excellent response: placement of objects in high quality storage cabinets will protect them from inadvertent damage. We used custom built Delta Design cabinets for everthing from small objects to large ceramics, textiles, spears, and large weapons, with the objects in custom made acid-free "blue boxes" so they didn't move around when cabinets were opened and drawers pulled out.
In addition to climate control and the second answer, I will that it is important to separate objects by materials: put wooden objects in a place, metal ones in another, organic ones elswhere, etc.
Here is an interesting reference:

Most of he biggest museums in the world hold far more than 70% of their collections in the storages. You can't imagine the amount of artworks in Musée du Louvre and Quai Branly Museum in Paris (France) or the Museum of World Cultures of Leiden (The Netherlands in Gravensande, etc. The collections are so numerous that they can never exhibit them all, even in twenty years time.
