Description

This article presents the cleaning strategy of the gypsum panel entitled “Os Pescadores”, stored for years without a proper conditioning, presenting large amounts of superficial and more adhered dirt. The methodological approach combined the use of wet and dry methods. As a material of great presence in the Portuguese context, it’s important to share information on case studies posing specific challenges.
