AB  - The protection against vibrations for museums of shrines in Iraq has never been discussed before.
These museums contain valuable artwork and historical objects that are irreplaceable and some of them belong
to more than 1400 years. So, the protection of museums against vibrations is necessary and important to be
taken into account in the designing of museums. This study is aimed to review the methods and procedures
that were developed to protect the artwork and heritage against vibrations and propose new design for
museums. These vibrations could be induced due to different factors which can be divided into internal and
external factors. Some of these vibrations can lead the museum’s content to be damaged. Different protection
strategies are presented in order to eliminate the vibrations effects on museum’s contents or decrease them.
Some protection procedures are taken into account during the proposed museum’s design and others are
performed during the construction process.
