BA in Restoration of Fine and Applied Art Objects

Restoration is a process that attempts to return cultural heritage to some previous state that the restorer imagines was the original . This was commonly done in the past. However, in the late 20th century a separate concept of conservation-restoration was developed that is more concerned with preserving the work of art for the future, and less with making it look pristine. Restoration is controversial, since it often involves some irreversible change to the original material of the artwork with the goal of making it look good.
