@elphbwckd212 3 года назад

Having spent some time in a museum conservation room I can assure you that this is exactly how it is. The focus and attention to the tiniest detail which is often incredibly fragile requires total singular attention. It is always very quiet as everyone is so focused on their own work and not destroying a (sometimes) priceless piece of art.

@naomig4336 3 года назад

normally dresses and any clothing with lots of stuff like beads or pearls and such distribute the weight pretty evenly, so it would feel heavy on a hanger, but when you where it it’s not really noticable

@Moon_Child_Mari 2 года назад

What I admire most about this entire process is that we as the audience wouldn’t pay much attention or even be able to see little imperfections such as these on the pieces put up for display, and yet to think there are many conservators out there, working hard to make them look beautiful again, out of love for the piece itself but also for the enjoyment of the audience. It is honestly really touching to me and makes me respect these artists so much more, for what it takes to make beautiful clothes like this, and also the effort to restore and care for them over the years. 💖
