Degree in
Conservation and
Restoration
The Bachelor's Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets aims to train conservator-restorers to perform the fundamental task that defines the profession: the preservation of cultural assets. This task consists of the examination and diagnosis of cultural assets, their preventive and curative conservation and restoration, and their documentation. Conservator-restorers are professionals who must have the training, knowledge, skills, experience, and understanding to achieve the goal of preserving cultural assets for the future, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in their professional code of ethics.
The ultimate goal of conservator-restorer training should be to develop highly competent, qualified, and trained professionals capable of thoughtfully carrying out extremely complex conservation-restoration interventions and thoroughly documenting them, so that the work and recorded data contribute not only to preservation but also to a deeper understanding of the historical and artistic events related to the objects being treated.
The personal (sensitivities, aptitudes, specific abilities, etc.) and academic characteristics of those considered most suitable to begin undergraduate studies in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets are as follows: basic knowledge and interest in culture in its different expressions and contexts; awareness of the historical and cultural value of heritage assets; sensitivity in the field of the visual arts; interest in and basic knowledge of art in its historical and contemporary manifestations; acceptance, sensitivity, and curiosity about cultural diversity; availability to work in a team on related or interdisciplinary subjects; ability to plan their work; willingness to learn and use a modern language (English); ability to adapt to the use of new technologies and computer advances; and familiarity with the Internet as a source of documentation and information exchange.
Even considering the conservation and restoration of cultural assets as a single professional profile, we can speak of different lines of guidance, coinciding with the multiplicity of areas where this activity can be carried out or with the diversity of objects with distinct material, historical, and aesthetic qualities that make up the heritage to be preserved.
Conservators and restorers can work in public institutions such as museums, archives, and libraries, as well as in official heritage protection agencies at the state, regional, or municipal levels. Conservators and restorers of cultural assets may also be self-employed, freelancers, or entrepreneurs, or employed by private companies. They may also teach subjects related to their professional field, such as artistic drawing, fine arts, artistic techniques, and the conservation and restoration of cultural assets.
