Preservation is the meeting of direct and indirect actions, meant to ensure durability of artworks. Those actions are direct when they act directly on the object and are indirect when they intervene in its environment.

First of all, it consists in creating a favourable environment to a good preservation of objects and to permit to slow down as much as possible their degradation. In the same time it is important to still be able to see the objects without to have to lock them in the dark. Preservation is there to find an answer to these two problems.

Artworks protection gets the conservator to make tailor-made packagings for each artwork, in neutral and permanent materials. There are always different levels of intervention, and depending on the requests, it is possible to create quite complex packagings, which would show diverse possibilities. Every materials used have to follow special standards and each considered measures have to be the less invasive.
