Every artifact has a story, but behind the scenes, it also has a journey of care, science, and patience. 🎨✨

​The Times of India carried a detailed feature on the work we do at the Chemical Conservation and Research Laboratory inside the Government Museum, Egmore complex—from restoring iconic Raja Ravi Varma paintings to preserving priceless Chola bronzes.
​Established in 1930, our laboratory is the oldest in India and one of the earliest dedicated conservation spaces in the world. Beyond preserving over 50 lakh artifacts, our constant endeavor is to build greater awareness, foster specialized training, and ensure that traditional expertise meets modern conservation science.
​No machine can ever replace trained hands and dedicated care when it comes to keeping our heritage alive for generations to come! 🏛️🖌️

International Museum Day
Each year since 1977, ICOM has organised International Museum Day, which represents a unique moment for the international museum community.
The objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organised on 18 May each year or around this date, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world, more and more museums participate in International Museum Day. Last year, more than 37,000 museums participated in the event in about 158 countries and territories.
