Master classes for museum restorers were held on Christmas

The International Center for Restoration in Christmas became a partner of the School of Restoration of the Union of Museums of Russia. This project was created for museum restorers to strengthen professional ties between them.

On Christmas Day, the first master classes were held. They were dedicated to the restoration of the graphics. Participants got acquainted with the whole range of works – from preliminary research to storage of finished works.

In addition to the ICR at Christmas, platforms for the exchange of experience will be the laboratory for the restoration of graphics and the Restoration and Storage Center “Old Village” of the State Hermitage Museum, the Federal Center for the Conservation of Library Funds of the Russian National Library, the Pavlovsk and Gatchina museums-reserves.

“Restoration schools for restoration artists from different regions of Russia, organized by the Union of Museums, are a very important and necessary project now,” said Tatyana Chernyaeva, director of the International Center for Restoration. They allow museum restorers not only to share experience and gain new knowledge, but also to get acquainted and expand their professional circle, in which you can always find advice, help, support.

Earlier, “MK in Leningrad region” said that the restorers from the ICR in Christmas will deal with the ancient Egyptian sarcophagi XI-X centuries BC. They are stored in the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan and are now in disrepair.
