Newly Conserved Cultural Properties
Many of the cultural properties that have been passed down through the ages have been carefully preserved while being repaired by human hands in the past. In order to pass on these cultural properties to the future, the museum has been systematically repairing the museum’s collection of works (both items in the museum collection and items on loan) in the fields of sculptures, paintings, writings, decorative arts, and archaeological objects every year. In this thematic exhibition, along with displaying selected cultural properties repaired until the previous fiscal year, we will also introduce their repairing process with text panels.
