The Museum&#8217;s conservation area carries out a regular programmed review of all the collections, which makes it possible to anticipate and avoid deterioration processes in the pieces by means of non-intrusive preventive maintenance activities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5482\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museodegrandas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-PREVENTIVA-SRA.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5482\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5482 aligncenter\" title=\"Conservaci\u00f3n preventiva\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museodegrandas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-PREVENTIVA-SRA.jpg\" alt=\"Fotograf\u00eda: S.

These interventions are undertaken with two purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restoration of the original appearance of objects whenever this is necessary for their understanding and\/or to ensure their stability.<\/li>\n<li>Recovery of the functionality of the parts. Since its creation, one of the Museum&#8217;s priorities has been to transmit the added value of objects as historical documents and as vehicles for the transmission of techniques and knowledge. With the recovery of their use, the pieces enjoy a new useful life and are transformed into world class educational tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The recovery interventions follow the guidelines and criteria commonly accepted for this type of activity, which include the use of elements that are non-aggressive and easily distinguishable from the original parts of the pieces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.museodegrandas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-recuperacion-SRA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5494 alignnone\" title=\"Proceso de recuperaci\u00f3n de un volante de torno.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museodegrandas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-recuperacion-SRA-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fotograf\u00eda: S.
