Restoration of the Winter Room: Paintings and ceilings are taken down

Conservators from the National Museum have started to take down the ceilings, paintings and framework in the Winter Room. They must proceed carefully so that there are no marks on the moldings or framework. For this, special wooden wedges and silicone paper are used so that the surfaces are not damaged. Along the way, they collect many bags of dust, all of which are saved and examined for historical traces. Once the paintings have been taken down, their condition must be assessed. Then they have to go to the workshop, where the color layer is determined and the paintings are cleaned. All decisions are made in close collaboration with conservators from The Royal Danish Collection.
