In the context of the long-standing and close collaboration between the Directorate of Art Conservation of the National Gallery and the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art at the University of the Peloponnese (PADΑ), a scheduled visit to the premises of the National Sculpture Gallery was conducted. During this visit, the large-scale work (4.45 x 8.45 meters) by Charles Louis Lucien Muller, titled “March 30, 1814,” and belonging to the Collection of the National Gallery, was under conservation.

The students were given a guided tour, engaged in conversations with the conservators from the Directorate of Art Conservation at EPΜΑS, and were informed about the conservation methodology and the specialized structures created to address and restore the damages of such a large-scale artwork.

The primary idea of the PROTEUS project is to bring the general public closer to the work of art conservators and researchers through the creation of an open-view laboratory (EATh).
