Glass is generally regarded as a stable material, but in some circumstances can deteriorate. This paper is focused on very specific changes of glass historical objects in museum cabinets. First of all, thermo-humidity parameters measured in the internal part of the cabinets was taken into consideration. Visible changes of exposed objects were created by differentiated temperature and relative humidity gradients in a very short period of time and repeated for 24h. Temperature and relative humidity results are presented in this paper and their influence on the glass surface was compared with the results of induced corrosion on chosen glass sensors. The data obtained emphasised that conditions inside the cabinets can be a reason for the gradual deterioration of historical glass objects.
