Dans les coulisses du musée bleu : l’atelier de conservation-restauration

On the painted plaster from the La Verrerie site, faced with an immense jigsaw puzzle, the first stages of treatment continue and are completed. Research continues to master the light-blackening of cinnabar red, the pigment present in the majority of these painted decorations.
Fragments of mosaic, restored in the 19th century, from the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, are currently being restored and tell an astonishing story.
