Monitoring the museum - Case Study

Museum artifacts protected by real-time monitoring

The Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, Wash., preserves and houses art and other historical artifacts that include more than 80 works by French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The facility was founded by railroad executive and lawyer Sam Hill after an attempt to develop a Quaker farming community and town on his remote 5,300-acre estate in 1907. The Hill mansion eventually was converted into a museum that officially opened to the public in 1940, nine years after Hill’s death. Mission Communications provides the monitoring and remote control equipment for the onsite water system, which supports the property’s HVAC and irrigation systems.
