The Vatican Museums conserve many collections of works on paper from diverse geographical and cultural areas; from the Japanese “Kakemono” to Henri Matisse’s works on “papier decoupe.” The restoration lab maintains, conserves, and restores a variety of prints, plans, and sketches. Particular copies of Etruscan tombs and catacombs have been made through the labs as well. The lab has completed restorations of several ancient volumes held in the Vatican Museum, Japanese cartoons, delicate globes, indigenous paper works, and several maps.
