In 2009 the Museum established a preventive conservation and restoration laboratory<\/strong> (PCRL) which currently has two headquarters, one in the Castell dels Tres Dragons building and the other in the Forum Park building. The purpose of this laboratory is to ensure the short-, medium- and long-term preservation of the Museum collections. Preventive conservation<\/strong>\u00a0consists of ongoing, comprehensive maintenance procedures for safeguarding the collections \u2013whether on display, in storage or on loan\u2013 in order to prevent their deterioration and delay their natural ageing process. Restoration<\/strong>, also called curative conservation, refers to the practice of mitigating any damage or alteration in the items, which adversely affects their integrity and\/or prevents, hinders or modifies their observation.<\/p>\n

The PCRL conservation-restoration experts perform cleaning, consolidation and reintegration treatments on deteriorated specimens to make them suitable for exhibition, handling or study, respecting their original value (historical, scientific, aesthetic, etc.) at all times.<\/p>\n

Ascertaining exactly how and why the objects in the collections deteriorate is another of the challenges and objectives of the PCRL. The findings of this research are extremely useful when it comes to developing new procedures, preventing future degradation and treating long-lasting damage.<\/p>\n
