<p>[QUOTE=&quot;areich, post: 1508312, member: 37479&quot;]I&#039;m just glad your not in charge of conservation in any of the institutions I have worked for.&nbsp; You would use paint stripper on the Mona Lisa to make it &quot;look better&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, you won&#039;t be &quot;alone&quot; in this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Artifacts are living things and have historical context.Their conservation requires serious assessment of the cultural place of the artificial and with its historical context.&nbsp; And then you need to account for being conservative in order to allow for future assessments and repairs based on newer technologies.&nbsp; You don&#039;t just hatchet into it like Cortez in the rain forest searching for gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Amanda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
