Dedicated to a new age of restoration

China Daily  

Earlier this month, a restorer from the Dunhuang Academy works on murals of Cave 55 of Mogao, dating back to the 10th century. WANG KAIHAO/CHINA DAILY At the academy, the conservation team with members of higher education backgrounds in the natural sciences, including chemistry, geology, microbiology and so on, is devoted to digitalization and detailed analysis in labs to draft tailored prescriptions for each earthen "patient". "Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems," Guo says. "For example, climate change is a major factor influencing the murals in the caves," Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, says. "It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes."
