RESTORATION OF THE WORKS OF THE MHAB-MUSEUM OF HISTORY AND ART OF BORMES LES MIMOSAS

It was a new restoration campaign that was completed in July 2022. 17 paintings and graphic arts were treated in Margherita Segala’s workshop.

The MHAB team went to Margherita Segala’s workshop to see the works undergoing restoration. Few museums have an in-house restoration workshop. The works are therefore taken in charge by the restorers and treated in the workshop. The museum’s 2021 collection survey provided a diagnosis of the collection’s state of conservation. A multi-year restoration program has been set up based on this diagnosis. This is the second campaign of this program.
