2014 Chapter Project

The Washington, DC Chapter is purchasing an ArtLight II laser for use in the restoration laboratories at the Vatican Museums. This device will be used on a multitude of materials including stone, stucco, paintings, metal, and wood. The laser is used for selected cleaning objects without damaging their substates. This equipment, valued at over $32,000, is already in use and is being paid for by the Washington Chapter, with a final payment to be made in the spring of 2014. The restoration staff of the Museum is very grateful to have access to such an important piece of equipment.
