Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive framework for practices and research on the seismic vulnerability and protection of museum artifacts. Earthquakes pose a significant threat to cultural heritage, necessitating the implementation of effective seismic protection measures. The study highlights various seismic mitigation techniques, including base isolation, damping systems, and anchorage methods, evaluated through case studies and numerical modeling. The timeline of seismic evaluation methods shows significant advancements from initial categorizations and analytical models to modern technologies like nylon fasteners and magnet anchors. Despite these advancements, challenges such as high costs, complexity, and the need for comprehensive risk assessments remain. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating aesthetic and functional considerations into seismic protection strategies and calls for interdisciplinary collaboration to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions. Future research directions include improving low-cost methods, integrating real-time monitoring systems, and conducting extensive field studies to refine seismic protection strategies.
