Abstract

Preventive protection in museums includes all strategies that control the process of destruction of cultural and historical monuments and prevent damage to them. The first step in these activities is the museum pests’ identification so that the pest management program can be used in museums.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the Niavaran Museum Palace pests and suggest methods for preventing them.
Method and Research Design: In this study, insects were examined in three buildings of the Niavaran Museum Palace complex including the Royal Library, Ahmad Shahi Pavilion, and Sahebgharanieh Palace. The study was carried out using a field laboratory method. Insects were collected from all aspects of buildings using brushes and traps. The samples were identified after examination in the laboratory.
Findings and conclusion: The Niavaran Museum Palace insects belonged to the order Thysanura (having long caudal filaments), the beetles of the family Dermestidae, Ptinidae, and the moth butterflies of the family Tineidae. In order to develop an integrated pest management plan, the current methods of pest control in Niavaran Museum Palace were evaluated and preventive strategies and monitoring programs were presented, so that the use of pesticides is the last option.
