Under layers of yellowed varnish, museums around the world are fighting against the ravages of time on their collections. Scientific advances and the manual skills of restorers combine to preserve these works of art. Immerse yourself in this world where science and craftsmanship enrich each other. To fully grasp the challenges of restoration, an overview of the latest technological innovations will be presented, accompanied by the before-and-after transformations of works that have benefited from a new youth.
