Conservation is an interdisciplinary field involving studio practices, science and the humanities. Conservator-restorers specialise in specific materials or object types.

A conservator-restorer works on projects and/or is involved in the holistic preservation of a heritage collection. He/she will understand and respect an object’s historical and cultural integrity, apply chemically inert and reversible treatments and follow established professional standards.

Conservation makes our cultural heritage accessible. It is carried out by trained professionals and follows a methodical approach, with consultation and thorough examination.
