IMPOSSIBLE RESTORATIONS
Arte, Architettura | 2020
From Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and King Tutankhamun’s coffin, incredible hauls of irreplaceable artworks, artefacts and monuments are currently on show across the globe. But many of these iconic pieces would have been lost to the world by now if it
weren’t for remarkable feats of restoration, lovingly rebuilding these treasured pieces of history for the next generation to enjoy. Each piece comes with its own unique set of challenges to overcome, requiring forensic examination and state of the art science technology to bring them
back to life without damaging the original piece. Guiding us through each restoration will be a brilliant, retained cast of expert conservationists, scientist and engineers who’ll offer us a wealth of specialist factual take home as they delve into how each timeless artefact is revived
That might mean exploring how the latest tech allows us to extract the DNA of a painting, how 3 D printing is revolutionising the way we rebuild ancient statues or how the perfect mix of chemicals can save a stained glass window. Using cutting edge CGI and clever graphics like those used in Twofour’s Lost
World of Pompeii we’ll be able to bring to life each element of the restoration process and the incredible history of each piece.
