Abstract:
|
In 2009, theMuseu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona launched a new permanent exhibit
that included removal and restoration of a landmark piece, a fin whale skeleton, and complete redesign
of its assembly structure. In this paper we present the process and results of documenting the piece
before the dismantling procedure. A graphic record was created as part of the restoration process, which
secondarily served as an important source of information for designing the new mounting system. A
detailed visual examination of the skeleton revealed problems in the preservation of the bone. The results
of the preparatory examinations proved useful for planning a new preventive conservation program for
the piece in its new location.
Key words.—dismantling, documentation, mount, whale, preventive conservation, skeleton. |
