Conservation and restoration of church treasures

Church treasures in good hands, and see a 19th-century painting restoration live. Conservation and restoration is a fascinating profession. Restaurator Bart Keutgens and researcher Raymond Bové show you up close how research and restoration on paintings is carried out. Discover the hidden secrets, e.g., of the 17th-century painting painted by Abel Grimmer (X-ray examinations revealed a very curious fact), and the 17th-century work Descent from the Cross painted after Rogier van der Weyden also has its story. Experience a painting restoration on-site in the church, and ask Bart and Raymond all your questions; they are happy to tell you all about it. A journey to the past, meet the grandmasters from the 17th century and experience the passion of the restorer and researcher. Accessibility: The church is easily accessible to everyone.
