Conservation and restoration of the National Museum’s collections is carried out at the Conservation Department

The National Museum’s Conservation Department possesses a wealth of expertise relating to the conservation, restoration and preservation of society’s material cultural heritage.
 
The department’s primary areas of responsibility are the conservation and restoration of the National Museum’s collections.  This work is carried out in close collaboration with the museum’s archaeologists, historians and art historians.  The highly qualified staff of the department have a broad range of expertise and craftsmanship covering restoration, conservation and scientific analyses of cultural material. The quality of their work builds upon the latest research into new conservation methods and historical craftsmanship.
 
This expertise is available to state and private institutions alike as well as the general public.  The conservation department can both advise on the planning of conservation and restoration projects or carry out such projects to completion.
 
Conservators from the department have, in collaboration with the Palaces and Properties Agency, recently coordinated and completed the successful transportation and installation of Per Kirkeby’s large painting to the Chapel at Fredensborg Castle. Read more about the transport of Per Kirkeby’s painting.
 
The conservation department is presently working on a comprehensive project, which, over the next 10 years, will ensure the preservation of those artefacts in the National Museum’s collections deemed to be of Outstanding National Importance (Enestående National Betydning / ENB).

Location

The conservation department is located at the Mølleådalen near Brede, 14km north of central Copenhagen. The conservation workshops are housed in a protected factory building, Brede Works, which the National Museum acquired in 1956.
Today the factory complex is also included in the National Museum’s exhibitions. Cloth was produced at the Brede works from 1832 until the works closed in 1956.
