Behind The Scenes Of The Vatican

The Tapestry and fine fabrics Restoration Labs at the Vatican on November 2015. Sister Maria Smolen from Poland checks a 30 square metres ancient tapestry. The tapestry conservation laboratory uses a conservative method of caring for the organic and inorganic materials that enter through the Vatican. The team of experts have catalogued, disinfected, documented and conserved over one thousand works that were in a weak state of preservation due to age. Photo by Eric Vandeville/ABACAPRESS.COM
