The exhibition in the Niguliste Museum focuses on the restoration of art from the Middle Ages to contemporary times. Carefully selected works have been exhibited or highlighted in the permanent exhibition, introducing the exciting field of conservation and the diverse work carried out over decades.
The exhibition reveals the behind-the-scenes work of conservators through 20th century art, highlighting the unique characteristics of the materials, techniques and life cycles of artworks. Conservation extends the life of modern works of art which are often fragile, and helps to ensure that they can be enjoyed in the future.
