2. Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage
Abstract The topic 5.3 “Preventive Conservation…after Conservation”
focuses on the importance of Preventive Conservation also after the
conservation process…that is to say that even if our cultural heritage
is restored and in a good state of preservation, we can performed
some interventions, even simple, able to preserve cultural heritage
from the decay by slowing the decay speed or keeping away the
materials from degrading agents.
