SPECIALISATION COURSE
Archaeological and cultural interest metal objects
Study, conservation and restoration
In recent years there has been significant progress in the conservation and restoration of metal objects. In contrast to traditional criteria and procedures, a scientific and experimental perspective has been applied to the documentation and safeguarding of these objects.
The main objective of this course is to offer a panoramic view of matter and to provide a complete understanding of the different materials that make it up and the reasons for their physico-chemical reactions and alterations.
It will also provide an understanding of the most common problems faced by conservators and restorers of metal materials of cultural interest, as well as an insight into the usual techniques used in this activity from the perspective of an update on new approaches to metal restoration.
