Preservation philosophy

Preservation philosophy is a set of principles that guides how we protect and maintain historical artifacts, buildings, and cultural heritage. Its core idea is to retain the original materials and character of these treasures, valuing their authenticity and historical significance. Preservation emphasizes careful, minimal intervention, aiming to sustain the item's integrity over time rather than restoring it to a "like-new" state. This approach respects the item's age and history, allowing future generations to experience and learn from the authentic cultural record.
