Conservation & Restoration
Taking proper care of the works in The Lobkowicz Collections – their conservation and restoration - is one of the key responsibilities of Lobkowicz Collections o.p.s. Working with Czech and international experts, the Collections staff is continually striving to find the best ways to preserve these objects for the enjoyment and education of future generations.
Significant projects include the restoration of Rubens’ Hygieia Nourishing the Sacred Serpent, restored by the late Hubert von Sonnenburg, one of the world’s leading painting conservators and former Chairman of the Paintings Conservation Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This project was made possible by generous support from donors to the American Friends for the Preservation of Czech Culture (AFPCC).
