Textile Conservation Studio
Over the past few decades, the studio has completed a number of significant conservation projects:
- 1966–1967 - prepared a collection of medieval embroideries for an exhibition in Stockholm
- 1970s - completed a conservation procedure on an early 17th-century court dress from the Stadtmuseum in Dresden, as part of an international collaboration scheme
- 1980s - renovated a considerable portion of the museum’s collection of handheld fans
- 2002 - the museum received the Sybilla commendation for ‘Achievement in Conservation’ from the Minister of Culture and Art, for the conservation of the Muscovite banner known as the Flag of the Shuysky Tsars
Since 2013 the studio has been involved in the research project 'The Funerary Banner of Jan Skarga Pawęski: Research, Conservation, Display'.
In 2014 one of the Textile Department’s storage facilities was renovated and new specialist equipment was purchased for it. The project was funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
As of September 2015, our modern cabinet and shelf systems will make it possible to hold study meetings on the history of old textiles for small groups of the public. All interested parties are welcome to contact us about this opportunity.
