Refurbishment: a factory for art rises from Liverpool ashes

Article Abstract:

Merseyside's first art conservation centre will use a restored Liverpool, UK, Victorian railway goods depot to conserve the collections of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (NMGM). The decision to start the project was based on 60% of the NMGM's collections being in a poor state. The various buildings at the depot are ideal for the various functions of the conservation centre, housing workshops for metal artefacts, sculptures, textiles and paintings.
