Konservatorische Herausforderung. Führung durch die Werkstatt der Papierrestaurierung
Using selected objects, visitors will learn about the conservation challenges posed by paper—from acid damage and pests to ink corrosion and the ravages of time.
The tour demonstrates how historical and modern restoration methods intertwine and how craftsmanship, scientific analysis, and digital technologies work together to preserve valuable cultural assets for future generations. It also highlights the ethical considerations behind every decision—what can be restored, and what remains visible?
An event for anyone curious about the hidden side of museum work and the art of making history visible while also preserving it.
