OBJECTS ARE FRAGILE How does touching affect materials? Natural oils on your fingers are absorbed by paper and wood and attract dirt. Acidic oils can also cause metals to corrode. Constant touching eventually wears away fragile surfaces. Often, the safest place for museum objects is in a storeroom. Museums have to find the right balance between displaying objects and keeping them safe for future generations. Please touch! 5041380 Touch this object tear
