Conservation and restoration work on five sculptures in the collection from FBAUP
As part of the protocol between the School of Arts and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP), EA students have been working on a set of five bronze sculptures in the FBAUP gardens.
The work was carried out by first-year Conservation and Restoration students from the School of Arts, under the guidance of Professor João Aguiar and conservator Cristina Basto, and consisted of mechanical and chemical cleaning, stabilization and protection of the metal surfaces.
Last year, the students also had the opportunity to make interventions in the FBAUP's spaces, particularly in its sculptures, as part of the practical component of the Preservation and Conservation Techniques II course (inorganic materials).
