What kind of guidelines -- light, humidity, handling?
At the Field Museum our 5-page Guidelines for Exhibition limit light
levels for "extremely sensitive" organic materials (which includes
natural-dyed materials, dyed and undyed textiles, etc.) to 5 footcandles
(50 lux).  Temperature and humidity are the "normal" (whatever that
now means) of 60-75 and 40-55.
