Issues of conservation and restoration of wedding memoirs from the Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw – two decorative folk-style frames painted on glass and three painted photography backdrops

In my artistic work I have taken up the subject of wedding for years and I wanted to carry out a degree piece related to it. I was looking forartefacts expressing a commemoration of the wedding ceremony and I enthusiastically accepted the possibility of maintaining glass-painted frames and photography backdrops. The artefacts captivated me with simplicity and honesty of expression, while the complex conservation issues encouraged me to take up the challenge. Work on my degree piece became extremely satisfying and significantly broadened my knowledge in the field of conservation and specificity of folk art.
