When people are asked about art restoration, rarely do they have much information. Art restoration is about treating art works which are damaged by those called conservators. So they focus on restoration not through artistic but in scientific ways. They figure out what materials were used, the purpose of artists, how the art works have become broken and determine what treatments are needed. In the process, they actively use recent science technologies to restoreworks safely.
