March – July 2023 – project implemented by the Museum of Ethnography Brașov – project in which MNIT was a partner
Project implemented by the Museum of Ethnography Brașov in partnership with museum institutions and cultural NGOs: the National History Museum of Transylvania, the Bran National Museum, the Association of Conservators and Restorers from Romania, the First Romanian School Museum and the ERMIS Association Brașov implement during the period March - July 2023 the project "Pro patrimonio. Preserving and saving the heritage of others", co-financed by the National Cultural Fund Administration (AFCN).
The project presented innovative technologies in the field of curative and preventive conservation of heritage assets from museum collections. During the project, workshops and interactive workshops were held in which the treatment facility in an anoxic environment (deprived of oxygen) owned by the Museum of Ethnography Brașov was presented and an exchange of information and best practices in the field was carried out conservation and restoration among specialists from participating institutions.
The project sought to identify innovative solutions for the conservation of material heritage in a local and European context and will end by organizing an exhibition with the cultural goods that were the object of curative conservation, with the help of the treatment facility in the anoxic environment, during the implementation of the project.
The project brought to the attention of collection owners the importance of preserving organic heritage objects through new, non-invasive, restorer-safe technologies. The owners of the collections will learn, through the implementation of the project, information about the technology of the treatment facility in anoxic environment and about a new cultural service offered by the Museum of Ethnography Brașov to other museums and collections, even those under private law.
The project "Pro patrimonio. Conserving and saving the heritage of others", co-financed by the National Cultural Fund Administration (AFCN), is worth 110.940 lei.
