History is stored not only in people's memories , or chronicles of the history books. The past can   be  told  by   many works of art : paintings, sculptures, architectural structures , and even clothing . But time is relentless : under the influence of external factors or due to improper storage conditions , they lose their original appearance and beauty. In order to protect the masterpieces from further destruction,  there is a profession   of  restorer. This profession is very difficult : to operate successfully in the restoration business, you have to be not only an artist,  but also a historian .

Exhibition " Ages Connecting Thread  " at the Exhibition Hall "Manezh" accompanies  by  fascinating  master classes  on restoration of n technologies and artistic processing of materials .
