Muscat, March 2016 – Last month I spent three weeks in the Sultanate of Oman working as a conservator for the National Museum of Oman in Muscat.
Together with three other Italian colleagues, I was part of a mission led by the Italian company Regoli & Radiciotti, focused on the conservation and preservation of Western and Islamic volumes, including printed books (19th–20th centuries) and manuscripts (17th century), belonging to the Museum’s collections.
