Extensive measurements and analyses were carried out in order to be able to assess the impacts of the vibration intensive construction activities on the exhibition rooms and art objects in the interior of the building in the course of the erection of the pavilion on the roof structure of the Leopold Museum.
In this process the vibrations occurring were determined during test drillings at the facade of the Leopold Museum at the positions with paintings deserving particular protection (Schiele, Klimt).
