The Magic of Restoration
| Exhibition: The Magic of Restoration |
|
Location: The Blue House, Multimedia Hall |
| This exhibition is organized by the Restoration Conservation Department of Brukenthal National Museum, being occasioned by the anniversary of 40 years since the establishment of the laboratory. Text offered by the curator: The Magic of Restoration exhibition displays art pieces belonging to Brukenthal National Museum collections: paintings (Jeremias van Wingham, Paulus de Vos, Michael Willmann, etc.), old books, graphic works, weapons and firearms, silverware, Neolithic and Dacian, furniture pottery, polychrome wood, stone, leather, etc. All these are meant to illustrate the complexity of the restoration work. Thus each piece is positioned alongside a color print with photos showing different parts prior to restoration, stages during restoration, the art piece after restoration, the operations performed on each piece and the restorer`s name. The specific of restoration works is little known to the public, and the specialists usually work in anonymity in order to give us the possibility to enjoy longer history testimonies. Restoration is a mixture of science and art, and any exhibition is a great opportunity to see how the two of them intermingle. |
