Inventory and Documentation Frederic Marès Museum

From September 2018 to June 2019 and since January 2020, as a second edition of the project, a NORDEST team consisting of a restaurateur and a documentalist are carrying out the inventory and documentation of the Frederic Marès Museum’s collections.

Objects are identified and entered into the inventory software.
Their conservation status is researched and evaluated. Specific actions are taken to stabilize the pieces.

In this process, the most diverse types of objects are being studied, from letters to tin soldiers, cut-out dolls or embroideries.

Movement of sculptures at the MAC (Museum of Archeology of Catalonia)

On the 27th of January 2020, while the ground floor of the Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya (Museum of Archeology of Catalonia) was being remodelled, some changes were made regarding the location of some pieces.

In this sense, 4 roman busts have been moved from the storage and have been placed on a new shelf located to the left part of the main entrance.

Additionally, the sculpture of Príap of Hostafracs has been placed in the hall in a more visible place.

The area this sculpture has been placed is where previously a Roman sarcophagus was. This sarcophagus is now back to the storage for its restoration. On the other hand, to properly paint the walls of the hall, 3 Greek steles have been moved. They will be put back there once the walls have been painted.

NORDEST’s team has moved all the pieces which have a weight between 100 and 1000 kg.

In June 2019 NORDEST has carried out the removal, packing and transport of the last pieces left of the Museu Nacional d’Arqueologia de Tarragona (MNAT).
