Stone Conservation
Overview
The Stone Conservation Division works with sculptures, monuments, and architectural elements made of stone. Conservation begins with understanding the condition of the stone and the factors affecting it, including weathering, cracks, salts, biological growth, stains, and surface damage. Suitable cleaning, repair, strengthening, and protective measures are then applied to safeguard the objects while preserving their original appearance.
