    Restoration Activity (page 2)


    Detail of a chasuble before restoration The department activity is organized in two directions: routine restoration of the museum collections and restoration of the museum items for displays and temporary exhibitions. The second direction became more important, when the significant part of the museum funds was moved from the territory of the Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra and new exhibition premises were arranged.

    Icon before restoration Between 2005 and 2007 the department specialists restored 102 items, including 72 exhibits for the new exhibition “The World of a Russian Village” in the Central building of the historical and cultural complex “Konny Dvor”, for the displays “The Sacristy of the Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra of the 14th – 19th cc”, “The 14th – 17th Century Icons and Manuscripts”, for temporary exhibitions inside and outside the Museum and 30 items from the Museum funds.

    All museum restorers graduated from higher and secondary special educational establishments. They were certificated by the Commission of the Ministry of Culture of Russian Federation. They are constantly training and advancing their skill in the Grabar Restoration Center and in the All-Russia Scientific Research Institute of Restoration.
