We had a similar request in our Museum.  Exhibit volunteers wanted to use a
fog machine to create water vapor fog in a diorama.  We nixed this idea, as
it would have increased the humidity of the museum space and increased the
likelihood of mildew and mold damage.  The concept of filling the air with
oil is no less undesirable.  It might be OK for a stage set, where
everything will be taken down in a week and getting covered with oil is not
an important concern, but you do not want an oil film on your museum.
Whatever goes up must come down, and that goes for oil droplets too.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Use of Hazer in Museum

 

Hello Wise Listers, 

 

A filming crew has requested to use a DF-50 Diffusion Hazer in one of our
period room exhibitions.  It uses food grade mineral oil to put micron size
droplets into the air to create a "hazy" look.  

 

My initial reaction is to deny the use of this machine.  Does anyone have
any experience with this type of machine?

 

Thank you for your assistance!
