EAA conservation and art history students left their mark at the new Rauaniidi building
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 2-5 January, the Theoretical and Methodological Issues of Mural Painting Conservation workshop took place at the Department of Cultural Heritage and Conservation and was supervised by Werner Schmid, a conservator of mural paintings with vast international experience based in Rome.
The practical part of the workshop was carried out in the department’s future studio space at the new EAA building – currently in the final stages of construction – the walls of which were covered with copies of historical frescos. This symbolically significant workshop is the third of its kind and hopefully it won’t have to be repeated for some time. Every building the Department of Cultural Heritage and Conservation has moved in has been adorned with new frescos: the new academic premises were dedicated in the same manner on Pikk Street in 2004, on Suur-Kloostri in 2008 and now, in 2018, at the Rauaniidi building.
