LAC begins museum conservation drive with German backing
The Lahore Arts Council (Alhamra), with backing from the German Diplomatic mission, has launched a landmark conservation scheme to preserve Pakistan's artistic heritage through the Museum Collection Conservation and Re-framing Scheme at the Alhamra Museum of Modern Arts.
The drive is part of the museum's ongoing renovation and aims to upgrade preservation standards by replacing conventional frames with museum-grade conservation framing to protect valuable artworks from environmental damage, humidity, dust, light exposure and physical deterioration.
A poll of the museum's collection identified 52 artworks requiring conservation, including 19 historically significant masterpieces classified as high priority.
Detailed condition assessments and technical documentation have already been completed to guide restoration and long-term preservation efforts.
Following a competitive procurement process under Punjab General Procurement Supervision body (PPRA) rules, was selected to undertake the scheme.
