The cabinet of restoration of the Osservatorio Ximeniano

Thursday November 8 2012, from 4:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. - Talking Corner


Since 2000, at the Osservatorio Ximeniano was created a restoration lab in order to recover, even from the functional point of view, the rich collection of scientific instruments placed in the centre itself. This activity has spread to the recovery of tools belonging to other collections. There were also organised some restoration courses, particularly reserved to the IGM members. During this meeting we will describe the restoration and reconstruction carried out in some of these instruments.

Attending: Renzo Maci, Responsible of the Laboratory of Restoration of the Fondazione Osservatorio Ximeniano of Florence
