Preserving works of art for future generations is one of the cornerstones of museum work, alongside collecting, research and education. The Kunstverein in Bremen employs specialist restorers of paintings and works on paper, as well as a passepartout cutter, who are entrusted with the care and protection of the Kunsthalle Bremen’s collection of over 200,000 works on paper, paintings and sculptures. Their work forms the basis for the preservation of the collection, its digitisation, and for art-historical research as well as material analysis.
