Specialists are working on the restoration of the canvas of the "Defense of Sevastopol" panorama

The team that created a digital copy of the canvas of the "Defense of Sevastopol" panorama is working with the restorers to restore it. This was announced in his Telegram channel by the Governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev after an expanded meeting of the State Council Commission on Culture and Traditional Spiritual and Moral Values.

According to him, the meeting discussed the creation of scientific and methodological restoration centers in the federal districts, which will expand the use of modern technologies in restoration. In this regard, Roman Karmanov, General Director of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives, cited the example of the "Defense of Sevastopol" panorama.

"After the attack, the team that created a digital copy of the canvas is now working with specialists to restore it. This is a good example of how technology can help preserve our heritage,” said Razvozhaev.

Recall that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the building of the "Defense of Sevastopol 1854–1855" panorama on June 10. As a result, a strong fire broke out in the room, and the canvas itself was badly damaged — the fire destroyed 90% of the subject plan and almost the entire picturesque part.

In addition, due to a severe fire, there was a risk of collapse of the roof structures of the building. Rescuers dismantled hazardous elements.
