Kamakura Annex 40th Anniversary Exhibition
Repairing, Preserving, and Keeping: Conservation and Restoration of The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura & Hayama
About the Exhibition
One of the key roles of an art museum is to preserve its collection of works and pass it on to future generations. Over the years, we have been striving to maintain an environment that protects the artworks, providing maintenance when necessary, and constantly updating our preservation methods to find the best ways to conserve them for the future. In this exhibition, the three words "repairing," "preserving," and "keeping" serve as a guide as we introduce the museum's behind-the-scenes efforts. Usually unseen, we reveal restoration processes, the tools used, and the ingenuity employed to exhibit works while protecting them.
