 Thus, professional technical preservation of items started together with organizing of Museum depot, while conservation department was officially formed in 1957. At the beginning, the conservation department had a workshop for textile, metal and wood, as well as a chemical laboratory. The experts of the department take care of preventive protection of museum items in depots and in permanent exhibition. Laboratories provide conservation, restoration and reconstruction of ethnographic items. They also perform preparation of items for display in permanent and temporary exhibitions. Conservation department educates young experts, employed in Serbian museums, and its conservators provide assistance to many institutions, folklore associations and individuals. Once a year, one conservator for wood, one for jewellery and one technician for wood, work on conservation of very precious pieces in the monastery Hilandar. One conservator for textile, with a group of ethnologists, is engaged on the project for old crafts preservation. |
