How is cultural memory preserved on paper? As part of a guided tour of the paper restoration workshop, paper restorer Katharina Plate gives insights into her work with sensitive materials such as graphics, photographs, books and archival documents. Using selected objects, visitors learn about the conservation challenges paper poses — from acid damage and pests to ink damage and traces of time.
The tour shows how historical and modern methods of restoration work together and how craftsmanship, scientific research and digital technologies work together to preserve valuable cultural assets for future generations. This also makes it clear which ethical considerations lie behind every decision — what can be restored, what remains visible?
An event for everyone who is curious about the hidden side of museum work and the art of making history visible but at the same time sustainable.
