Conservation
Conservation science refers to the treatment of artworks that prevents additional deterioration and preserves them more effectively.
For scientific treatment and verification, such as material analysis, the process requires knowledge in chemistry in addition to art history.
Today, conservation of modern and contemporary artworks call for innovative approaches, demanding new purposes and meanings for art conservation and restoration.
Condition assessment is the first step to conserve the collections and displays. Condition assessment findings are documented and provide a basis for further conservation treatments.
We conduct an assessment of artwork conditions whenever they are taken out from or brought into a storage, or when new artworks arrive at the museum. This allows us to systematically keep art collections at their best condition.
