A risk management approach can provide a decision-making method for preventive conservation of a museum collection or group of collections. Risk is the chance of an undesirable change occurring. Risk assessment is the analysis of the magnitude of each and all risks affecting some entity. Risk management is the application of available resources in a way that minimizes overall risk.
