Attention will be paid to the objects of iron, copper, tin, lead, zinc, silver, gold and aluminium. Students will try out possibilities survey artefact, preventive conservation, remedial conservation, restoration and documentation. The thesis also mentions the area of ??occupational safety and familiarization with the potential risks for staff and collections. The main task of the seminar will be writing a seminar paper - namely, developing a concept complex intervention on a given subject in a simple metal.

Above the results of seminar papers will be shared discussion moderated by the teacher.
