Within the context of this study, the brief history, structural and spatial features of the building, and the restoration and exhibition works carried out in the museum were examined. As a con-tribution to the risk assessments in which human health is priority, the disaster risks for the museum artifacts and the historical buildings where the artifacts are exhibited, and also the necessary architec-tural precautions to be taken in the historical museum structure are discussed in the study. Çankırı Mu-seum is chosen as an exemplary for the disaster preparedness due to its historical identity and its recent restoration and exhibition work. Evaluation on the disaster preparedness of the museum building was made by using the prepared tables. The methodology proposed in this study depends on a grading sys-tem to determine if the museum and the artifacts are safe or not against disasters, according to the data in the tables. The aim of the proposed method that would be a model for the further studies is to deter-mine the level of protection against disasters numerically. Within the scope of the study, the proposed method is used to evaluate the risk situation of the Çankırı Museum; and it is determined that the neces-sary precautions were taken at a high rate in the museum structure.trÇankırı MuseumDisaster PreparednessMuseum RisksArticle42270290
