Ideally, in an unsealed environment, I would think 55f would work as cooler temps (not freezing) keep mold and mildew down as well as insect and other critters. Now anything colder than that may contribute to brittleness.

Realistically, in an indoor controlled sealed environment I would think a mild/dry 70-75f would be perfect. This however, is just my opinion and not a professional one by any means. I just noticed you weren't getting any answers. I'm sure opinions vary on the subject and perhaps a more experienced opinion will surface. Anyways, here's a thread bump if nothing else.

It's just my opinion that humidity is more important then temperature... unless of course you're up north where the temp drops below zero

others have said the colder the better to slow down chemcial reactions, and I agree that humidity is very important, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
