The restoration unit’s main aim is to preserve the Museum’s collections. It is also responsible for establishing the necessary measures to stabilise and minimise any deterioration processes of the objects which are included in the collection. It has a laboratory, located next to the Museum’s storage facilities in the old Bétera psychiatric hospital, where conservation and restoration work is done on the collections, temporary exhibitions, pieces from other venues, and objects from the permanent collection. The great diversity of the objects’ materials has led to specific treatments being established, which always follow the working guidelines, control the amount of work done, use reversible techniques and materials and fully respect the original patina of the pieces and character it has acquired over time.
