ChallengeThe conservation of stone with polychromy presents a particular challenge in the field. Often at very exposed locations, archaeological excavation sites present the conservator with complex problems due to the climatic conditions encountered, which can be extreme and which impact the finds themselves and the materials to be used A further challenge lies in the transfer and conservation of detached murals and their preservation. When it comes to substrates and types of mounting, every assignment requires a bespoke approach. Rufino Emmenegger continuously develops these new techniques and processes, for which the company has gained much admiration internationally. Dissemination of knowledgeA further challenge is the teaching assignments, courses, talks and publications undertaken by the company. Prof. Oskar Emmenegger spent 25 years providing the Institute of Historical Monuments (part of the Federal Institute of Technology ETH, Zurich) with consultancy and research services as a scientific expert in questions of restoration. He provided tuition at academies and universities at home and abroad, amongst them the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
