The Conservation and Restoration Department is responsible for monitoring the conservation, storage and reserves area for the documentary and bibliographical collections held by the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation. These range from numerous and varied documents, photographs, books, publications, etc., from Salvador Dal\u00ed\u2019s personal library and archive to new period acquisitions and donations that enrich our collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Another of the department\u2019s tasks is to inspect these types of objects before any exhibition loan. To this end, before they go out on loan, the department prepares a condition report and, in many case, carries out conservation and restoration interventions, as in the case of one of the Vogue magazines with a cover design by Salvador Dal\u00ed loaned out for the exhibition Dal\u00ed and Magazines<\/em>. The treatment consisted of dry cleaning, repairing tears and missing backing material, chromatic reintegration and generally flattening the piece.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n\n \n \n
