Make sure that the area is well ventilated and the temperature of the interior is not too hot. For those unframed ones, place it in a platform and lie it down so that it will not crumble.

Artworks would usually get dusty through time so make sure that you clean them. Use only a soft feather duster when removing the dust away from your paintings.
