Due to the rehabilitation process of the MNAT building, the entire museum’s collection had to be displaced from its plinths, supports and walls, to be stored. It is worth mention the 4 thoracatus weighting more than 800 kg each, various sculptures, mosaics, columns, and structural elements integrated in the building’s architecture.
To decent the objects from the upper floors, a lifting system was created to overcome the 20 meters height of the stairwell, using a scaffolding with an electric hoist of 3,000 kg.
