Established in 1976, over the years it has occupied various spaces within the building, eventually reaching its current location: a large area divided into three rooms with large windows, equipped with an air extraction system, worktables, and safety cabinets.
The restorers work across different areas of specialization, according to the types of artifacts found in the diverse art collections. These include traditional paintings, contemporary art, works made from non-traditional and mixed materials, installations, sculptures, design objects, prints, drawings, and photographs, created from the late 19th century to the present day.
Within the Laboratory, there is also a comprehensive Restoration Archive, which holds approximately 1,700 conservation records compiled from 1950 to the present.
