Reading the headline, I thought they were going to talk about base isolating the entire building.

It's quite intriguing, and I suppose I've just never thought of it that way, that you can base isolate individual objects.

The article demonstrates a multi-axis base for dampening the force imparted by S-waves, generated by Earthquakes, to artwork. But earthquakes also generate longitudinal waves (P-waves). I wonder whether P-waves are strong enough to damage artwork and whether a system should also be put in place to protect against them.
