Vom Wert der Dinge – Restaurierung hautnah

What actually happens behind the scenes of restoration? To mark European Heritage Days, restorers, in collaboration with the Association for Restoration (SKR), are opening their doors and offering an exclusive glimpse into their work. Experts from various fields—ranging from the restoration of paintings, media, paper, and textiles to the conservation of cultural-historical objects—will provide vivid insights into their work. Visitors will learn how works of art and historical objects are examined, conserved, and restored with a wealth of expertise. It becomes clear that no two objects are alike. Every work of art and every cultural artifact requires an individualized, carefully tailored approach.

Through personal discussions and free guided tours, we offer insights into our work:

1:00 p.m.: “Preserving Objects – Preserving History”

2:00 p.m.: “Invisible Protection – Preventive Conservation”

We’ll be presenting various specialized fields and topics:

Preventive Conservation: Pest control through nitrogen treatment and IPM programs

Film: Special challenges in preserving various film materials

Living Cultural Heritage: Preserving and passing on cultural knowledge, using the example of natural dye production in the Amazon region

Natural History Specimens: Collaboration between taxidermists and conservators in the preservation of zoological specimens

Photography: Conservation and archiving of photographs
