The restoration/conservation in Georgia

Anotace: From the end of the 1990s, an issue relating to methodological problems of protection and conservation of specimens of cultural heritage became especially acute in Georgia. At the same time, various kinds of mistakes were observed in restoration and repair works conducted on movable and immovable monuments. Due to recognition of this urgent problem, at the end of 2004, the Rector of Tbilisi Academy of Art initiated the establishment of a Faculty of Restoration, Art History and Theory in the State Academy of Arts of Tbilisi, the aim of which was to establish a scientific basis on which to conduct the conservation-restoration of specimens of cultural heritage, and many steps were taken in this direction.
