Within the project “A Story of a Restored Exhibit” the National Gallery of Armenia presents the restoration story of the famous masterpiece depicting the most mysterious figure ever. Taken from the permanent exhibition wall in 2019 and kept in the restoration studio for years “Salome” returns to the exhibition hall.
A brief video clip and photos of work process with their explanatory notes featuring the long restoration process are displayed next to the restored canvas of Vardges Sureniants, the greatest master of Armenian fine arts. The first exhibition hall presents a restoration studio corner, a work table with appropriate tools and material, an easel, etc. Among the most interesting “pieces” of the sub-area are the microscope and the UV lamp, which help the visitor to independently examine the restored parts of the artwork, its retouching and other interventions. The exhibition also presents the tactile copy of painting “Salome” meant for people with visual impairment.
